Raptors travel to COVID-striken Florida in advance of NBA restart

The Toronto Raptors will travel to Fort Myers, Fla, in advance of the NBA’s plans to restart the 2019-20 season, the team announced Monday.

Toronto will send a select number of staffers and players to Fort Myers, and it’s expected that the team will gather there until the rest of the NBA is ready to enter the campus at Disney’s Wide World of Sports complex. In keeping with health protocols, the Raptors will not gather for group workouts at this time.

When they enter the bubble, the Raptors will stay at the Gran Destino Tower resort with the Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets, Miami Heat, and the Boston Celtics.
