The popular NBA Canada series is back and bigger than ever in its fourth year with a record five teams playing four preseason games across the country.
In addition to the Toronto Raptors, fans will be able to get a first-hand look at superstars Blake Griffin, John Wall, Derrick Rose and Canada’s own Andrew Wiggins.
The series tips off in Vancouver when the Raptors battle the Los Angeles Clippers at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on Oct. 4. Wiggins and his Timberwolves face the star-studded Chicago Bulls on Oct. 10 in Winnipeg, while Toronto meets the Wolves on Oct. 14 in Ottawa.
Kyle Lowry and the Raptors close the series when they renew their rivalry with the Washington Wizards, the team that knocked them out of the 2015 playoffs, on Oct. 23 in Montreal.
“As the country’s lone NBA team, we are honoured to again be part of the NBA Canada Series,” said Masai Ujiri, president and General Manager of the Raptors. “The crowds last season in Vancouver and Montreal were enthusiastic and passionate about the NBA. We look forward to the same excitement for the Raptors in those two cities and our nation’s capital.”
Tickets for all four games go on sale June 6.
