If you come into the Raptors' neighbourhood, be prepared to lose something round, orange and valuable.

Toronto's ability to steal the basketball is getting noticed around the league, writes @michaelgrange. https://t.co/mHc5OTQcoa

Gives me an opportunity to thank @Sportsnet for being so supportive, and allowing me to miss tonight’s @Raptors game to celebrate the life of my sweetest Pépère in Alberta. He lived 98 years, married 76 of them. True soulmate stuff. Couldn’t ask for much more in this life 🥺🤍🕊️

#Pacers HC Rick Carlisle announced that his father, Preston, died on Oct. 3 at the age of 96.

“He was the greatest hero of my life.”

Carlisle will not coach Friday’s game at Miami so he can attend his father’s memorial services. Assistant Lloyd Pierce will be the acting HC.

There's rarely a game that goes by ALL SEASON where I'm not texting @ShelAlexander & @timhago to tell them how obsessed I am with their opens. Left no crumbs with this one:

[Sheldon Alexander @ShelAlexander]

Couldn't let the week pass by without posting the opening I produced for the Raptors first game of the season; set to Harry Styles' Ready, Steady, Go!

Big shouts to the entire SN Features team/@SNMichaud for the dope interviews and my dude @timhago for the fire edit 🔥🔥🔥🔥

After a drastic makeover, multiple teams look positioned to come out of the Eastern Conference this season.

I previewed the East by asking one burning question for all 15 teams. This was *a lot* of words, so any/all support is very appreciated! ⤵️

“You’re always big enough if you’re good enough. And Jamal is.”

An incredible quote second only to “he is strong. His thighs and his butt. That's a powerful little dude” 🤣🤣🤣

[Chris Baldwin @ChrisYBaldwin]

University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson on Jamal Shead signing a new three-year $24 million extension with the Toronto Raptors a year early, just two seasons into his NBA career: "I told Toronto before the draft, I told all those guys, 'Look you can sit there and figure out what's wrong with every player.' That's what most cynical people do. Always figure out what's wrong, that's how they see things.

"But if you want to win and have a player that's dependable you can count on. . . Sometimes a player's greatest strength can be dependability. And that's what Jamal is. His attributes talent wise is No. 1 his strength. I mean, he is strong. His thighs and his butt. That's a powerful little dude. But his leadership, his basketball IQ, his fearlessness, his competitiveness. I hear a lot of people say he's not quite big enough.

"My response is always the same. You're always big enough if you're good enough. And Jamal is."

New Kawhi interview soon🔥🔥

[Danielle Michaud @SNMichaud]

This story about the Robinson family is well worth your time. It will certainly stick with me @BFQuinn

[Brendan Quinn @BFQuinn]

This story is a credit to @D_Bo20 and the Robinson Family. They want to tell you about Eli. They're hoping it helps others.

It's worth remembering: “Maybe we can all be a little less certain about knowing what someone is going through."

THEY GOT THE HOT DOG IN THE BUN 🌭

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Kawhi Leonard, through his new agent, Harrison Gaines, issues statement:

“Integrity and respect for this game are fundamental to who I am. I accept full responsibility for lapses in judgment by people within my inner circle and regret the distraction this situation has caused the fans and my family.  

I entered into my contract with the Clippers as well as the agreements in question in good faith, fully committed to fulfilling my obligations and with no knowledge of any intent on anyone's part to circumvent the salary cap.  

For 15 years, my priority has been giving everything to my family, the game, and those I share the court with. As I return to Toronto, I am focused on what I can control, closing this chapter, and moving forward with a clean slate."

[Danielle Michaud @SNMichaud]

And there it is:

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

BREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker, sources tell ESPN.

Kawhi Leonard will have to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits by the Clippers for his uncle and former business rep, Dennis Robertson. No contract void or suspension for Leonard. And Robertson -- who was fired by Leonard in June -- is being banned by the NBA from all business dealings.
