The Raptors set up family photos in each player's room when they arrived in the bubble. Terence Davis got a pic of him and his son + him with his whole family.

TD: "It meant a lot, man. It was heartwarming. I miss my son but one day he'll understand what daddy does for a living"

T. Davis on #Raptors vets; lessons he's learned: "...Taking care of your body. Professionalism. Being on time. Doing things the right way. I'm a sponge right now..."

"He's in playoff mode...he looks like prime Marc..."

- T. Davis on Marc Gasol

It’s the coach of the year. “The food has been a great help to me. I’m trying to cut a few (pounds). It’s fitting right on with that plan."

Nurse says he will almost mandate some time off early for the Raptors’ older and heavier load players.

Raptors just finished their second practice in the bubble. Nurse has asked his players to self-monitor in terms of their conditioning and ease themselves back in. Marc Gasol pulled himself out of the second half of practice today, per Nurse, as did OG Anunoby at one point.

Marc Gasol pulled himself out of practice, as did OG Anunoby, as Nick Nurse encouraged, as practice got going strongly. Nurse said it was an intense practice.

Well, this MLS comeback is off to a rousing start
Two teams sent home and now the TFC-DC United game scheduled for now is postponed at kickoff.
One positive COVID-19 test, one inconclusive.
Hope there's a good cooking show on TV I can watch now.

"Obviously there was some rust... but it seems like a really good jumping off point for us."

Lo, after all these months, they put the Raptors band back together thestar.com/sports/raptors…

Raptors all-star Pascal Siakam says Raptors have talked a lot about the messages and plans they want to get out. "Once it's time, you guys are going to see what we have." Claims he hasn't decided yet what back of his jersey will say.

“I’m definitely used to quarantine. I’ve been doing it for three months, two months. Two days is nothing.” - Siakam on the last two days since arriving in Disney.

Raptors head coach Nick Nurse was thankful everyone passed their tests. Said team looked pretty good. Obviously some rust, but a "really good jumping off point" as a starting point for his team.

The Raptors just finished their first practice in more than 4 months. Fred VanVleet said they played a bit of 5-on-5. They were a bit rusty, as expected, and will take some time to get their conditioning back, "but other than that everybody looked good"

VanVleet doesn’t care about what everyone looks like in terms of their bodies. He says it wasn’t a training camp-type feel, as Nurse kept day one of group workouts “pretty light."

The Raptors have cleared quarantine and will practice at 1pm this afternoon, as scheduled. It'll be their first time on the court together as a team since the March 9th game in Utah.

Big thanks to @BarryForth and his staff at copetownwoods.com for a wonderful morning on Friday. Outstanding track in great condition. Well worth a visit if you haven't.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo on quarantine and players talking about it: "(They) gave us the chance to come to Toronto to have a spring camp. Nothing else has been decided." Team still waiting on federal government to approve. "We thank them for (letting in for camp)."

I think what’s going on with MLS is a very realistic possibility for the NBA. One or two teams getting so hit by the virus that they have to pull out.

Yes, I’m a doctor.

The Raptors will make the ~2hr bus ride from Naples to Orlando this afternoon. All players/staff will quarantine for ~36 hrs until they return 2 negative COVID-19 tests. If everything goes according to plan, they’re scheduled to practice (for the 1st time since Mar.) at 1pm Sat.

Why the city can’t just monitor for drunk and disorderly and let people having a single beer outside go, I don’t know. Is this what we’re focussing on now? Is this the priority?

People complained when Pascal Siakam and Khris Middleton said they went months without touching a basketball. Can you imagine caring about that?

The Raptors will practice for first time in Orlando on Saturday from 1-4 ET.

K. Storm has passed.
As an aside: I am in awe of trees. This one out my window is about 100 feet tall and seemed like it was bending in half, no big deal. Very happy they don't break (at least more than they do) coz I'd be dead otherwise.

Now the hail. I am fighting urge to take cover.

cray storm.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo on Toronto: "We're really happy to be here." Says it will be different than a regular spring training. Trying to "build guys up," "a lot of guys, because you never know what can happen" (was keying on pitchers here).

2020: If you thought people refusing to wear masks for the welfare of fellow humankind was the low point, let us present to you people yelling and cursing at people who are wearing masks for the welfare of fellow humankind.

Do you ever feel unyielding despair for the state of the world, extreme concern for your own mental welfare along with utter certainty things will never feel different?

Asking for a friend.

Tomorrow, the Raptors will make the short trip from Naples to Orlando and join 21 other teams at Disney for training camp. They've gotten a taste of what life is going to be like in the NBA bubble and they're bracing themselves for a lengthy stay: tsn.ca/talent/toronto… pic.twitter.com/8MkKYNFNyg

From the 2010-11 season through the 2012-13 season, the Raptors played 230 games. Kyle Lowry ranked fifth in total win shares over those 3 seasons. He played in 68 of those 230.

Good read here on some breakthrough 🇨🇦 broadcasters - @meghanmcpeak and @Paul Jones from @Ewingsports -- sportsnet.ca/basketball/meg…

Unexpected FaceTime calls from the kids; five-on-five scrimmages from the get go ... those are about the only things Nick Nurse feels sure about as the Raptors head to Orlando and the unknown. He's ready for anything and believes the @Toronto Raptors are too:

Nurse on how he and his players/staff are handling being away from their young families: "I've got a 3-year-old... I told him I've gotta go coach some games & he said 'I'm gonna wait right here for you'. I hope he's moved from that spot because it's going to be a while, I think." pic.twitter.com/phe5ZBkLuv
