The Raptors will play their first game in 137 days on Friday when they take on Houston in their first of three scrimmages. The real restart tips off next Thursday with the first seeding-round games. The Raptors open their eight-game seeding round two days later against the Los Angeles Lakers. Norman Powell appreciates that Ujiri and Webster are in constant communication with players, They inquire about their mental health. They ask what help they can offer in players’ attempts to amplify the Black Lives Matter message.
“It was really cool to walk out of the lobby and see those busses with Black Lives Matter out there. I really like that,” he said. “Those are the type of little things that show where we stand, and we’re going to continue to take strides and steps forward and effect some real change.” No matter what happens in seeding round, the Raptors probably won’t fall lower than third in the conference heading into the post-season. They can’t wait to resume their title defence.
The four-month layoff obviously pushed back several items on front-office to-do lists. Webster was asked about the contract status of Nick Nurse, who is due for an extension.
