The NBA preseason is technically much shorter than its been historically, and yet it still feels interminably long. The Raptors play tonight against a non-NBA team, Melbourne United, in what is their lone preseason home game, and then we have to wait another 12 days for their return to Toronto.
In that sense, this is the best way to satiate your desire to see the Raptors with Kawhi Leonard right now, today — even if their opponent is, as mentioned, not an NBA basketball team.
The Raptors head into this one at 1-1, and while they are one of the few NBA franchises to drop an exhibition game to a non-NBA team before, it feels safe to say they’ll be 2-1 come Saturday morning.
