If Toronto’s rebuild is going to succeed, the Raptors could learn a lot from Orlando. Consider what the Magic have endured this season: they lost their top scorer, Paolo Banchero, just five games into the year, and when they began to find a rhythm without him, their second-leading scorer, Franz Wagner, also went down with an injury.

The 2024-25 season hasn’t exactly gone smoothly for the Toronto Raptors. They were not expected to win too many games this year as they continued their rebuild, but they have fallen on hard times as of late.
