Raptors hit pause on business of basketball through COVID-19 crisis. JLew1050 has more:

TORONTO – No matter who you are, where you live or what your daily routine generally looks like, your life has been altered over the last three weeks.

The team would just be starting to gear up for the postseason, maybe considering finding some rest for their key players, knowing what’s around the corner. “It’s been tough, guys, I’ll be honest. Just being away from everything that you do and you do so well, it’s been tough on everybody. But this is a time for us to rally together, be innovative and figure out a way, a way forward.”

While some players remain in Toronto, many have travelled back to their respective homes in the U.S. Still, they’re not able to practice and their workouts are limited to whatever they can do at home or going for runs alone outside. “Honestly, to be fair, it's not where our minds are at right now,” Ujiri said. “This is a crucial time for the world. Those things will come. I'm fine. We’re fine. It’s honestly the last thing on my mind. I miss the game, man. I miss basketball. You have concerns – I'm concerned for my team, I'm concerned for my family, I'm concerned for the world and I'm concerned about this pandemic and how we beat it, how we fight it. We have to win this one.
