The Raptors play the second half of a back to back tonight, hosting the visiting Sacramento Kings in their only trip to Scotiabank Arena this season. It’s another return to his old stomping grounds for DeMar DeRozan, but tonight’s game has even more significance than that.
Tonight, Vince Carter’s purple, number 15 jersey will be lifted to the rafters of Scotiabank Arena. It’s the perfect setting for the occasion, the Raptors play against another one of his former teams, with the next face of the franchise after Vince making another return to Toronto. It also comes after Carter was introduced into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame earlier this year.
