After nine seasons with the Toronto Raptors, DeMar DeRozan went to the San Antonio Spurs in the multi-player trade for Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green. It was not without controversy, however, as DeRozan publicly called out Raptors President of Basketball Operations Masai Ujiri for how everything was handled.
Trade or not, DeRozan had a busy summer planned. It started with minicamp for Team USA Basketball, coached by Gregg Popovich, which started Wednesday.
After that, it was supposed to be involvement in Basketball Without Borders and the 2018 NBA Africa game. However, according to ESPN’s Chris Haynes, DeRozan withdrew from participating Wednesday.
