TORONTO - It took 1,030 days, but Danny Green finally has his ring.
The Philadelphia 76ers forward, who was a key member of the Toronto Raptors’ thrilling 2019 championship run, was presented with his enormous diamond-encrusted ring by former teammates Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam prior to Thursday’s game at Scotiabank Arena.
Green was feted with a video tribute and a warm standing ovation, putting a hand to his heart in appreciation.
“I always called him a glue guy for that team, which is an important thing,” said Raptors coach Nick Nurse, wrapping Green in a hug.
