Well Raptors fans, we are (almost) at the end of this season. On Wednesday, the Toronto Raptors played their last home game of the 2024-2025 season, fittingly on their stunning purple Vince Carter court. They’ll hit the road to close out their season, with no chance now of making a play-in tournament push. Instead, it’s right into draft talk for the Raptors, who have locked in the 7th best odds in the NBA Draft lottery.
Before we look ahead at the future, there is still some reflection to do on how the 2024-2025 fits into the tapestry of this franchise as a whole.
