Toronto entered the NBA as part of the league’s expansion into Canada, beginning play in the 1995-96 season alongside the Vancouver Grizzlies. After early struggles, the Raptors’ fortunes changed with the arrivals of first Tracy McGrady, then Vince Carter, who led the franchise to their first playoff appearances. Following their departures, the team struggled to build a contender around Chris Bosh. With the arrival of general manager Masai Ujiri in 2013, Toronto turned into a perennial playoff team featuring the likes of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan. The Raptors won their first championship in the 2018-19 season, led by Lowry, Kawhi Leonard, and head coach Nick Nurse.
