MONTREAL — Hometown favourite Chris Boucher produced 13 points and six rebounds as the Toronto Raptors defeated the Washington Wizards 125-98 in their pre-season opener at the Bell Centre on Sunday.
Boucher — the longest-serving Raptor — went 5-for-9 from the floor in 17 minutes after the team conducted training camp at the Université du Québec à Montréal all week.
Jordan Poole led Washington with 16 points and six assists. Swiss-Canadian Wizards forward Kyshawn George, whose father Deon is from Montreal, scored eight points in front of a pack of friends and family in the stands. Raptors star Scottie Barnes, who missed the start of camp for personal reasons, and starting point guard Immanuel Quickley were ruled out for the game.
It was the eighth time Montreal hosted an NBA pre-season game as part of the NBA Canada Series since 2012.
