Report: The Toronto Raptors Are Relocating Next Season
The Toronto Raptors are the NBA's lone Canadian team and next season that may 'change'. The team is considering all their options at the moment and with the border restrictions between the US and Canada, the team may have no choice but to play the entire season in the United States.
While the Raptors fan base is likely the most passionate in the league, the team may not have the option of playing in front of them. So....where to go?
Introducing the Louisville Raptors!!!!
It doesn't have quite the ring to it, but the Raptors likely don't care, they just want to play. The KFC Yum! Center is a capable host and according to reports, is the likely landing spot for next season.
We will have to wait and see what restrictions are still in place when the NBA season starts in 2021, but with Toronto continuing to be a hot spot for Covid and with the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team recently having to play all their home games in Buffalo, there's potential this sticks.
Next season for the Raps - gonna be finger licking good!
The Raptors will potentially play their home games in Louisville next season, per @VinceGoodwill
