In their pre-season opener, the Toronto Raptors triumphed over the Washington Wizards with a score of 125-98, showcasing strong performances from Chris Boucher and RJ Barrett. Boucher, the longest-serving Raptor, contributed 13 points and six rebounds, while Barrett led all scorers with 17 points before leaving the game due to a shoulder injury.

Other notable contributions came from Gradey Dick, Kelly Olynyk, Jamal Shead, and Jahmi’us Ramsey, each scoring 10 points. The Raptors established an early lead, dominating the game in front of a sellout crowd at the Bell Centre, which included former Raptors star Vince Carter, who is set to have his number retired soon.
