The Toronto Raptors are 26-12 and first place in the NBA, but what’s been happening around the rest of the league? We take a look in our weekly NBA update.
Christmas slate of games
The NBA season has unofficially started. Don’t tell the first-place Toronto Raptors, but it’s been well contested that the NBA’s real season doesn’t start until December 25th, when the league can debut it’s Christmas Day games.
It’s been well covered at this point that Toronto was left without an Xmas day game. It makes sense as the NBA needed to make room for dynamic teams such as the New York Knicks and big markets like Oklahoma City and Salt Lake City.
