Raptors fans will sing O Canada on their own in Game 5 of NBA Finals

Canada, this national anthem is for you.

As the Toronto Raptors head into a potentially historic Game 5 at the NBA Finals on Monday, there won’t be a famous face singing O Canada at the Scotiabank Arena.

Instead, the NBA says it will be up to Raptors fans inside the venue, and across the country, to sing loud and proud.

The organization didn’t provide details about how the ceremonial performance will be guided.

Recent televised games have featured live feeds of Raptors fans at public viewing parties across the country.

One of the highlights at Scotiabank Arena in the last few rounds of the playoffs have been the fans singing the national anthem before the game.
