Breaking down the members of the Toronto Raptors headed for free agency this summer, as well as those with player and team options for 2022-23.
After a disappointing 2021 season in which they missed the playoffs and could not play their home games in Toronto, the Raptors bounced back to be a playoff team in 2022. They returned to the Air Canada Centre and overcame the loss of franchise legend Kyle Lowry to Miami, and an early-season injury to All-Star forward Pascal Siakam, to finish fifth in a competitive Eastern Conference.
Guard Fred VanVleet was selected to his first All-Star Game, so Toronto can make a claim few other teams can: They have two All-Star players to build around. Head coach Nick Nurse and GM Masai Ujiri managed to construct a playoff roster that is still fairly young — bolstering that by drafting Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes last year.
