  It was once said that “sport is a universal language, building more bridges between people than anything else.”And although Leigh Ellis didn’t know it at the time, he spoke that language one summer day in 2021, when he stepped onto the asphalt basketball court of Berlin’s Mauerpark and gestured with his hands toward a couple of strangers to ask if he could shoot around with them.The Aussie also had no idea his son would take out a phone and record the spontaneous hoop ses

• Three more Centers Raptors should go after in Free Agency

  16-06-2026 15:00
  
  With the NBA Finals t wrapped up, we are now officially in the offseason. The Raptors have been reported to be interested in upgrading the center position in the offseason after a lacklustre year from starting center Jakob Poeltl, who was plagued by injuries. With Toronto having a ton of money tied up in their current roster, it’ll be hard to imagine them getting any deals outside of veteran minimums, so most of these targets will be on the lower tier of big men. By the way, the reason why

  TORONTO — For a second consecutive game the Toronto Tempo had the unenviable task of trying to limit one of the top paint-producing teams in the WNBA.And for a second consecutive game, that task proved too much to handle.While the Tempo were nearly able to overcome their size disparity against the Washington Mystics, the same could not be said on Sunday as they fell 102-77 to the Atlanta Dream.Head coach Sandy Brondello said pre-game that it would require tons of “energy” to co

  OG Anunoby is in the news now for yet another clutch shot during Game Four of the NBA Finals, in what is described as the greatest single-game comeback in NBA Finals history.Although I just touched on how he has always been this clutch, the Raptors decided to move on from OG Anunoby in 2023, trading him alongside Malachi Flynn, and Precious Achiuwa to the Knicks in exchange for RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and a 2024 Detroit second-round pick that eventually became Jonathan Mogbo.

  Sonia Citron nailed a buzzer-beater jumper to seal the deal 86-85 for the Mystics in a game that should have never been that close after how poor of a showing the Tempo gave in the third quarter.

• OG Anunoby’s clutch Game Four miracle proves what Raptors’ fans already knew

  12-06-2026 17:55
  
  Ok, the other night, OG Anunoby hit an INSANELY clutch shot to give the Knicks a 3-1 chokehold over the Spurs in the NBA Finals. However, to Raps fans, his entire performance (including the last-second tip shot) is very familiar.
  Let’s start off with his 3-and-D style of play. Throughout the entirety of game four, OG shot 7-for-9 from three, going 5-5 in the second half alone. If you want to get even more specific, Anunoby went 2-2 in the fourth quarter. Even going outside of the three-bal

  There are many reasons why Laura Juškaitė’s road to the Toronto Tempo was difficult. Start with her being born in the small Lithuanian town of Skuodas with only 6,000 people and nowhere to practice basketball. Outside of playing one-on-one in a field with her brother, that is.  She didn’t start playing properly until the age of 14, when her track an

  It’s no secret that Sandy Brondello loves the three ball.
  “Three is better than two” has been a common refrain from both her and Toronto Tempo players in the early going of the team’s inaugural season.
  “We forced too many mid-rangers, which is not a good shot in the game,” Brondello said after the Tempo’s first game.But in their last game against the Chicago Sky, they successfully improvised, hitting Nyara Sabally on the roll and driving closeouts as the
