• Raptors drop down to ninth after draft lottery
  A frustrating season where Toronto Raptors fans were torn between a win-now mentality and their hopes of a high draft pick has come to a disappointing conclusion. The Raptors will draft ninth in this summer's NBA Draft after moving down two spots in Monday night's lottery. Toronto (30-52) had the league's seventh-worst regular-season record for a 31.9 per cent chance at a top-four pick and a 7.5 per cent at the top overall selection. Instead, the Dallas Mavericks will pick first overall, moving 10 spots up the rankings, after finishing with the 11th worst record in the NBA. Dallas had only a 1.8 per cent chance of getting the top pick. Related Videos 3:21 Toronto Raptors adding Brandon Ingram
• Former Raptors Forward Lifts Pacers in Blowout Victory Over Cavaliers
  Pascal Siakam set the tone early, and the Indiana Pacers never looked back. The former Toronto Raptors forward poured in 12 of his 21 points in the first half, including two three-pointers, as Indiana stormed out to a commanding lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers en route to a 129-109 blowout win on Sunday. Siakam barely needed to play in the second half, with the Pacers holding a 40-point halftime lead that ballooned to as much as 44 after a pair of free throws from Siakam in the third. Canadian guard Andrew Nembhard was in full facilitator mode, handing out seven assists to go along with seven points and three rebounds in 30 minutes.
• Former Raptors Wing Limited as Celtics Dominate Knicks
  OG Anunoby never found his rhythm. The former Toronto Raptors forward struggled to get anything going offensively on Saturday, finishing with just two points on 1-for-6 shooting as the Boston Celtics finally found their shooting touch in a 115-93 blowout victory. It was a night where the Knicks could do little to slow Boston, who shot 50% from behind the arc, drilling 20 of 40 three-pointers. The Celtics jumped out to a 25-point first-half lead as Jayson Tatum drilled four three-pointers before the break.
• Mavericks connected with $107 million Raptors star in trade proposal
  The Dallas Mavericks had their season end prematurely in the Play-In Tournament at the hand of the Memphis Grizzlies. It was a year marred by bad trades, such as the Luka Doncic and Quentin Grimes trades, and an insane amount of injuries. Kyrie Irving tore his ACL in March, and while the team is optimistic he could return in January, that's still a long way away, and he probably won't be 100% by then. With Irving out for the foreseeable future and Klay Thompson and Anthony Davis only getting older, the Mavericks could use a younger scoring punch.

• Were Raptors wrong to trade Siakam, Anunoby, with both now thriving?
  Just before 2024 arrived, after years of hemming and hawing, the Toronto Raptors finally gave up on the notion that their post-championship core could rise again as a contender. In under a month, the team dealt away top defender OG Anunoby and scoring leader Pascal Siakam, turning the keys over to Scottie Barnes on the court and to then first-year head coach Darko Rajakovic to oversee a rebuild.
