The Raptors are back in Toronto.

暴龍隊終於可以回到多倫多了。

This was expected, but after a season played in Tampa Bay due to the pandemicand quarantine times in Canada, the Raptors will again play their home games
at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto after getting approval from the Canadian
government.

這本是可預期的，但由於在加拿大的疫情與隔離期間，導致需要在坦帕灣打主場比賽一個賽季之後，暴龍隊在獲得加拿大政府批准的情況下，將能回到多倫多打主場比賽。

The Raptors’ first home preseason game will be against the 76ers on Oct. 4,
with the first regular season game is Oct. 20 against Washington. The Raptorshave already announced a vaccine mandate for home games — a recent negative
coronavirus test is not good enough. To attend games will require proof of
vaccination or a medical exemption (the same is true of Toronto Maple Leaf
games). It is also possible that, if COVID numbers spike in Toronto, there
could be a limit imposed on the number of fans who can attend games.

暴龍隊的第一場季前熱身賽是在10月04日對陣七六人隊，而首場例行賽是在20日對陣巫師隊。暴龍隊先前已經作出宣佈，僅有 COVID-19 檢測陰性報告是不足夠的——假如要進場
觀賽，就必須出示施打疫苗證明或醫藥因素免除證明（對於多倫多楓葉隊 (冰球) 也是一樣）。同時，如果在多倫多的確診數據暴增，當局也有可能對可以進場觀賞的球迷人數作限制。

Toronto last played at home on Feb. 28, 2020 — they were on a road trip when
the league shut down on March 11 of that year. After that they played in the
bubble in Orlando, then last season set up a temporary residence in Tampa Bay.

暴龍隊的最後一場主場賽是在2020年02月28日——當時在03月11日賽季停擺之前，他們正
在打著連續客場比賽。那時之後，他們在奧蘭多的泡泡區完成餘下比賽，上賽季在坦帕灣的臨時主場落腳。

Team president Masai Ujiri said playing in Tampa Bay last year set the
Raptors back “years.” They missed the entire postseason last year
(including the play-in games), but landed the No. 4 pick and used it to
select Scottie Barnes.

球團主席Masai Ujiri 表示，上賽季在坦帕灣打球令球隊表現猶如退步了「好幾年」。他們上賽季無緣亮相季後賽（包括附加賽），但後來獲得四號選秀籤，並選擇了 Scottie
Barnes。

The Raptors are retooling but are looking for a playoff year behind a
resurgent Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, and Fred VanVleet.
