With the NBA offseason in the rear view mirror, a majority of NBA teams had Media Day on Monday.
The Toronto Raptors were one of those teams. The Raptors welcomed back some old faces with some new faces as well.
However, one of the new players not there to meet the press was Dennis Schroder because his flight was delayed. Schroder was able to make the latter part of media day. This is when Schroder may have accidentally leaked a new jersey:

This jersey features a new take to the Raptors jersey design. The Raptors have incorporated gold in previous jerseys, but not as their base color.
Due to famous hip-hop artist Drake and his involvement with the team, Toronto has had different iterations of OVO jerseys that have featured gold and black or white and gold.
Throughout the past few weeks, there have been leaks of new City Edition jerseys for NBA teams and it seems like this leaked jersey is Raptors’ one.
If this is in fact a new jersey, the uniform leaked by Schroder will likely debut at some point this season.
Schroder averaged 12.6 points, 4.5 assists, and 2.5 rebounds in 66 games for the Los Angeles Lakers last season. He signed with the Raptors earlier this summer on a two-year, $26 million deal.
O.G. Anunoby pranks Damian Lillard with a ‘welcome to Toronto’ text
The Damian Lillard sweepstakes were a long and exhaustive process for those involved and it finally came to an end after months of speculation.
The Milwaukee Bucks were the team that ultimately traded for Lillard, a team that was not originally rumored to be in the running.
However, Damian Lillard initially thought he was going to the Raptors.
Lillard shared a story with TNT reporter Chris Haynes revealing that O.G. Anunoby pranked him by sending him a ‘welcome to Toronto’ text.
