Raptors host Pelicans in banner-raising opening night: Preview, start time, and more

The Raptors’ 25th anniversary, a championship ring ceremony — what else could we ask for? How about a win!

For the first time in franchise history, the Toronto Raptors will raise the banner-of-all-banners — a freshly woven, straight off the presses “2018-19 NBA Champions” tapestry to hang from the Scotiabank Arena rafters. Not only is it a momentous occasion for the team, but for all of Toronto — a city that can claim just four titles across four major sports leagues (the Blue Jays in 1992 and ‘93, Toronto FC’s win in 2017, and last year’s Raptors) in the fifty-plus years since the Maple Leafs last won the Stanley Cup.
