The Raptors are back in Toronto.

暴龍隊終於可以回到多倫多了。

This was expected, but after a season played in Tampa Bay due to the pandemic
and quarantine times in Canada, the Raptors will again play their home games
at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto after getting approval from the Canadian
government.

這本是可預期的，但由於在加拿大的疫情與隔離期間，導致需要在坦帕灣打主場比賽一個
賽季之後，暴龍隊在獲得加拿大政府批准的情況下，將能回到多倫多打主場比賽。

The Raptors’ first home preseason game will be against the 76ers on Oct. 4,
with the first regular season game is Oct. 20 against Washington. The Raptors
have already announced a vaccine mandate for home games — a recent negative
coronavirus test is not good enough. To attend games will require proof of
vaccination or a medical exemption (the same is true of Toronto Maple Leaf
games). It is also possible that, if COVID numbers spike in Toronto, there
could be a limit imposed on the number of fans who can attend games.



Toronto last played at home on Feb. 28, 2020 — they were on a road trip when
the league shut down on March 11 of that year. After that they played in the
bubble in Orlando, then last season set up a temporary residence in Tampa Bay.



Team president Masai Ujiri said playing in Tampa Bay last year set the
Raptors back “years.” They missed the entire postseason last year
(including the play-in games), but landed the No. 4 pick and used it to
select Scottie Barnes.

球團主席Masai Ujiri 表示，上賽季在坦帕灣打球令球隊表現猶如退步了「好幾年」。他
們上賽季無緣亮相季後賽（包括附加賽），但後來獲得四號選秀籤，並選擇了 Scottie
Barnes。

The Raptors are retooling but are looking for a playoff year behind a
resurgent Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, and Fred VanVleet.
