The Toronto Raptors are back in action on the second night of a home back-to-back.
Toronto is coming off a 131-125 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, which featured an inspired comeback down as many as 26 points.
The Raptors got 30-point performances from both RJ Barrett and Gradey Dick. Given the injuries to rotation players right now, those two need to carry that production over to tonight.
Tonight, the Sacramento Kings come into Scotiabank Arena on the second night of a back-to-back as well. They beat the Atlanta Hawks 123-115.
Sacramento got 27 points and 8 rebounds from former Raptor DeMar DeRozan. De’Aaron Fox dropped 31 points and Domantas Sabonis chipped in with 15 points and 14 rebounds.
Scottie Barnes (orbital), Bruce Brown (knee) and Kelly Olynyk (back) are all out. Immauel Quickley (pelvis) remains doubtful.
Meanwhile, for the Kings Devin Carter (shoulder), Orlando Robinson (knee) and Kevin Huerter (illness) are out.
While Toronto is going to have their hands full with an offensive powerhouse in the Kings, tonight is going to be a special.
Raptors legend Vince Carter is getting his iconic No. 15 jersey retired. His number will be hung from the Scotiabank Arena rafters for the rest of time, immortalizing his contributions to the organization.
This is going to be an emotional night for all parties involved, but also a chance to reflect on the timeless memories Carter provided.
