Raptors acquired a D-League franchise that will play in Mississauga
The team will play out of the Hershey Centre
The Toronto Raptors will have a D-League franchise in Mississauga, Ontario, according to The Toronto Star.
The team — to be named something along the lines of the Raptors905s as a nod to the suburban area code — will play out of the Hershey Centre and the official announcement could come as early as Monday, the Star has learned.
The cost of a franchise is in the $6 million (U.S.) range, putting a pricetag on the team’s sole minor league affiliate that equals about the cost of one year at the NBA mid-level salary.
