#SPOTTED: TORONTO RAPTORS BACK IN TORONTO FROM TOKYO

So I met some of the Toronto Raptors. All of them basically!  Friday night was an unsuspecting night. I was to pick-up a friend at the airport visiting from L.A.  Low and behold I notice Marc Gasol of the Raptors coming out of arrivals. And then another. And another. They were basically coming from all directions, but then I remembered the team was just in Tokyo for a couple exhibition matches last week and it was my luck that I was at the right place at the right time! There are several new faces this season, but it’s exciting seeing these and familiar stars from the Team! We did see Kyle Lowry but he was busy with his family so we didn’t want to bother. No sign of Coach Nick Nurse, sadly!

What luck!

 

The Raptors return to Scotiabank Arena, coincidentally on my birthday October 22, 2019, against the New Orleans Pelicans. Happy early birthday, indeed!
