(Toronto) The Toronto Raptors canceled their training session “as a precautionary measure” Thursday, in order to respect NBA protocol to fight COVID-19.
The team added that more information will be made available as the situation permits.
The Raptors are coming off a 110-109 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night, in Game 5 of their seven-year stay at home – their longest this season.
The Ontario squad was already hit hard by an outbreak of COVID-19 last February, while playing in Tampa, Florida. She tumbled down the Eastern Conference standings in March, and was eventually ruled out of the playoffs.
The Indiana Pacers also canceled their training session Thursday morning, for the same reasons.
