With Hernangomez and his brother, Doncic could be himself. “We grew up together. … He eats my mom’s cooking, we stay at home, play video games when he was young,” Hernangomez said. “… We loved hanging out, being outside, doing barbeques, being in the pool, so we became friends, hanging out after his game, after my game, we hang out all summer. He loves Spain, he grew up there.”
Toronto Raptors Rumors
14hr
Brad Townsend: Jason Kidd says Maxi Kleber was able to go through practice and, barring any setbacks, the hope is he will play against Toronto tomorrow. As for potential starting lineup changes (Wood? Green?) Kidd said “Ask me tomorrow.”
Aaron Rose: Scottie Barnes remains questionable
Josh Lewenberg: Siakam (groin) has been cleared for contact in practice. He was a full participant today but won’t play vs Dallas tomorrow. Still targeting next week for his return. VanVleet (illness) & Banton (illness/ankle) practiced today. Barnes (knee) did not. All 3 are questionable tmrw.
He’s been among the best defenders in the league so far — he’d be in the conversation for defensive player of the year if that conversation was being held today — and his offensive game is evolving nicely. In a season of disappointment and disruption, the coaching staff and management are privately over the moon with his play and his nightly availability.
