Game Notes: Raptors vs. Wizards | Tuesday’s Practice Video

Barring some kind of setback, it appears newly-acquired point guard Kyle Lowry will play in Wednesday’s preseason matchup with the Washington Wizards at ACC (7 PM ET, NBATV Canada).

Lowry has been sidelined with a strained adductor muscle since the end of the team’s training camp in Halifax but after going through the team’s last two practices, seems ready to see his first preseason action. Hear more from Lowry about his imminent return below, plus more from head coach Dwane Casey, who spoke about his new look at point guard and ...

Call it small first step for Jonas Valanciunas.

The Raptors rookie centre saw just over 13 minutes of work in his first appearance on Wednesday since suffering a calf strain and finished with two points and two blocks (I saw three) in a Raptors 101-99 loss to the Pistons.

Head coach Dwane Casey said Valanciunas did an “excellent job” given the context of his first game and competition in the form of a big Detroit frontline.

“He was where he was supposed to be a lot on his offensive sets and ...

The wait to see Jonas Valanciunas in action may be over soon.

That was the news out of Tuesday’s practice, as it was revealed the rookie centre participated in full contact drills at Tuesday’s practice and, as a result, could be ready to see minutes on Wednesday against the Pistons at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

“We’re going to see how his body feels tomorrow after going through today and then we’ll make the decision,” said head coach Dwane Casey. “Again, the young man hasn’t done anything for us in ...

Things we’re thankful for? Rookies that can get down — like the trio of Quincy Acy, Jonas Valanciunas and (to a lesser extent) Terrence Ross for a little team initiation at yesterday’s intrasquad scrimmage in Halifax.

Happy Thanksgiving to all Raptors fans celebrating this weekend. We’ll have more from Sunday’s practice later today as the Raptors prepare to open preseseason play against Real Madrid on Monday.

It’s a wrap from Raptors Training Camp at the Canada Games Centre in Halifax. We’ve got a couple extra one-on-ones, including Landry Fields on his first training camp with the Raptors and veteran centre Jamaal Magloire for his take on what he’s seen with the team throughout the week.

Thursday was the final day of training camp at the Canada Games Centre for the Raptors and we’ve got video from after the morning session.

Head coach Dwane Casey expressed that he was much more satisfied with Thursday’s practice than the lone session on Wednesday, particularly in terms of the Raptors’ execution at the offensive end. We’ve got more from Casey, plus Ed Davis on his first proper training camp experience and director of sports science Alex McKechnie with a brief update on Jonas Valanciunas.

The Raptors finish their stay here on ...

Thursday represented the lightest day of training camp for the Raptors in Halifax, with just the one morning practice before getting the rest of the day off.

It might have come just in time as head coach Dwane Casey noted that fatigue might have been setting in somewhat with his players after a fifth practice session in three days. We’ve got more from Casey, along with interviews with DeMar DeRozan and Amir Johnson below.

We’ll have a little more coverage on how some of the Raptors spent the rest of ...

We’ve got more Training Camp video from Day 2 in Halifax, as Matt Devlin took some time to speak with centre Aaron Gray and new point guard John Lucas III.

We’ve got more video from Day 2 of Raptors Training Camp, including head coach Dwane Casey, Andrea Bargnani, Terrence Ross one-on-one with Sherman Hamilton and more from Kyle Lowry. More to come from the evening session…
