Although the Toronto Raptors missed the playoffs for the first time in eight seasons, it looks as though at least two members of the organization may have a busy summer ahead. With the announcement of 21 players invited to Canada Basketball’s mid-June training camp, we know that center Khem Birch will join head coach Nick Nurse back among familiar surroundings.
The Montreal native, who joined the Raptors in April after being waived by the Orlando Magic, previously represented Canada at the 2016 FIBA Olympic qualifying tournament in Manila.
