Raptors and Blue Jays at Sportsnet. Music and wrestling at leisure. I’m just a constant headache.
A really good Gradey Dick game. Now if the 3s ever come back around...

Gradey Dick's unexpected double-double boosts Raptors amid thin roster
The Toronto Raptors received some timely 3-point shooting after being cold for most of the game, on a night Gradey Dick had his strongest performance of the season.

First career double-double for Gradey Dick, apparently a screen-and-roll power forward now

Jamison Battle just limped out of the game. Looked like he was coming out of the game for a sub anyway but he's headed to the locker room.

The Raptors making all their shots (Wed) is way better than when their opponent makes all their shots (Mon)

RJ Barrett, Ja’Kobe Walter, Jakob Poeltl, and Chucky Hepburn remain out for the Raptors on Wednesday. All but Hepburn some variation of day-to-day.

Bennedict Mathurin, Tyrese Haliburton, Isaiah Jackson, and Obi Toppin out for the Pacers.

Kyle Lowry calls that “Probably one of the greatest moments of my basketball career,” seems very appreciative of the Toronto fan support.

Is also appreciative of his teammates pushing him to check in, and building the lead, as well.
Not exactly high quality from the gondola but what a moment. KLOE, man.

Noticeable "we want Lowry" chant starting up during a timeout here at SBA

Let Kyle Lowry put on a Raptors jersey and pick any 4 bench players to make this comeback with
January 13, 2026 at 2:25 AM
The 76ers true-shooting percentage in the first quarter was over 100%

Brandon Ingram red shoelace game?
January 13, 2026 at 12:47 AM
Scottie Barnes is your Eastern Conference Player of the Week
January 12, 2026 at 8:30 PM
Brandon Ingram is questionable tonight.

RJ Barrett, Jakob Poeltl, Chucky Hepburn remain out.

Scottie Barnes good to go on B2B.

Lowry chirping back at Embiid that they're going "where you lost Game 7 at" is great stuff
Teammates marveled at the massive media scrum surrounding Kyle Lowry’s locker before Sunday’s game. It represented what Lowry means to Toronto, his second home, and the Sixers, his hometown team.

“I really give to them the purity of how I feel about them.”

Kyle Lowry returns to Toronto as a Raptors legend and Sixers leader: ‘I embrace it, and they embrace me’
The Sixers' back-to-back in Toronto could be Lowry's final trip as a player to the city where the North Philly native and former Villanova star became a six-time All-Star and an NBA champion.

"How is that not continuation???" play is a Kyle Lowry tribute

Alijah Martin legacy game
January 12, 2026 at 1:45 AM
Maxey has better career scoring efficiency against the Raptors than against any other opponent, and it absolutely feels that way
January 12, 2026 at 1:37 AM
Barnes has been excellent against a ton of defensive attention today. Stayed aggressive, good reads out of doubles, ball's moved well on rotation out of those. Great stuff.
January 12, 2026 at 1:34 AM
Alijah Martin trying to catch a poster every time he's in space, love it

AJ Lawson the first player to ever miss G League referees
January 12, 2026 at 1:18 AM
In addition to us all enjoying the CMB experience, he is, without fail, the player opponent media wants to talk about after games. He pops.
January 12, 2026 at 1:17 AM
Ja'Kobe Walter to the locker room favoring his right hip/side. Banged it a few possessions back on a transition bucket.
