The Toronto Raptors are set to begin their 2024-25 season against the Cleveland Cavaliers, marking the franchise's 30th anniversary. The team plans to celebrate this milestone throughout the season, including a special jersey retirement ceremony for Vince Carter.

After struggling with depth last season, the Raptors have revamped their roster with several trades and draft picks, enhancing their bench strength. Key players like Davion Mitchell and Ochai Agbaji are expected to contribute significantly.

Additionally, the Raptors will participate in the NBA's in-season tournament, competing in Group B alongside notable teams like the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat. Financial incentives for players in this tournament have also been introduced.

Lastly, former player Jontay Porter is facing sentencing for conspiracy related to game performance, which has led to his ban from the NBA.
