TORONTO - Even as the NBA’s trade deadline on Thursday was approaching, Masai Ujiri has kept his priorities in order.
“Trying to get fans back in the arena,” Ujiri said Friday when asked what was more important between fans back in Scotiabank Arena or the trade deadline.
The Toronto Raptors vice-chairman and team president held court with the media on Friday where he made clear that getting a full-capacity arena is among the very top of his to-do list.
But the Ontario government won’t lift its large-arena capacity limit of just 500 people until Feb. 21.
