The Toronto Raptors are set to announce the retirement of Vince Carter's No. 15, making it the first number retired by the franchise. This event will take place at the renovated Vince Carter Court, with Raptors president Masai Ujiri and current players in attendance.

Carter, an eight-time All-Star and the Raptors' first superstar, significantly raised the team's profile and enthusiasm for basketball in Canada. He played with the Raptors for seven seasons, leading them to the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2001.

After a lengthy 22-year NBA career, Carter will also be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame next month, coinciding with the Raptors' 30th anniversary season.
