They say you can’t go home again, and they’re right. When DeMar DeRozan was taking his very Toronto hour-plus bus ride from the airport to the very Toronto posh destination, wearing his very Toronto floppy winter trapper’s hat, his 5-year-old daughter Diar asked over the phone: Where are you staying? And he said: I’ll be in a hotel. And she said, not understanding they had sold their house here: Why are you staying at a hotel?
DeRozan will play his first game in Toronto against the Raptors on Friday night, and everyone expects it will be emotional.
