Raptors season preview: A return to Eastern Conference prominence?
The 2020-21 NBA season was a tumultuous one for the Toronto Raptors, mired by having to play all of its home games in Tampa, Florida due to COVID-19 restrictions in Canada, as well as by missing the playoffs for the first time since 2012-13.
There was also a good amount of turmoil surrounding the Canadian franchise, primarily around Pascal Siakam and head coach Nick Nurse, with the former a consistent source of trade rumors throughout the campaign.
The Raptors will be hoping a return to Toronto and growth from their promising young pieces will be enough to allow them to return to prominence in the Eastern Conference, despite the loss of Kyle Lowry.
