Nick Nurse was bullish about the growth of basketball in Canada and suggested the country is in a much better position now to sustain a second NBA franchise.
Toronto’s head coach was speaking after the Raptors played a full-squad scrimmage game in front of a sell-out crowd in Victoria, BC.

First
Injuries already
Nurse on the team right out of the gate like last year, he clearly understands the level of play we need to be at before we are looking at this deep playoff run everyone has mentioned as the season’s goal
Bring a team back to Van 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Vancouver lol
Montreal is a better spot than vancouver for an nba team!!! About half of the canadian nba Players are from Montreal
i was there in Victoria!
toronto or the GTA can afford to have another one the fan base is there! do it up! Mississauga Huskies!!
If Vancouver was not hobbled right out of the gate by the NBA, they would still have a franchise. The fans were loyal and long, long suffering. While Toronto began at the same time, they had the good fortune to draft Vince, who put basketball on the map in Toronto, as well as Toronto on the map in the NBA.
Vancouver has the facility and the fanbase to make another go of it. It just needs a decent start.
He doesn't seem impressed
the ottawa red riders lets gooo
Montreal Game ❤❤❤❤
