Toronto Raptors NBA season activities

Overview

The Toronto Raptors transitioned from preseason activities to the regular NBA season in late 2026. During their preseason tour, the team played a sold-out game against the Los Angeles Clippers in Vancouver. Kawhi Leonard sat out that contest to rest, while rookie Allen Graves prepared for his debut.

By November, the Raptors entered regular season play with a 3-2 record. Following a loss to the Orlando Magic, the team traveled to Crypto.com Arena to face the Los Angeles Lakers on November 1, 2026.

Heading into the Lakers matchup, the Raptors are playing without Kawhi Leonard due to knee swelling. During his absence, Scottie Barnes recently recorded a career-high 41 points. Additionally, Nate Bittle is listed as out with a foot injury. The matchup presents a stylistic contrast, as Toronto focuses on forcing turnovers and maintaining ball security, while the Lakers have struggled with an average of 16.6 turnovers per game. The Lakers enter the November 1 contest with a 4-2 record, while the Raptors' injury report also notes the absence of Leonard, placing increased responsibility on Barnes.
