The Toronto Raptors won approval from the Canadian government to play at their stadium this season, a team spokesman said Friday.
Toronto played last season in Tampa, Florida, due to travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is unclear whether the team will be allowed a full attendance at Scotiabank Arena. Fans attending the games must show proof of vaccination.
The Raptors will open their preseason against the Philadelphia 76ers on October 4, their first game at Scotiabank Arena in more than 19 months.
The team announced a five-game preseason schedule on Friday that includes two home appearances. They will also host the Houston Rockets on October 11.
They open the regular season on October 20 when they host the Washington Wizards.
The Raptors’ last game at their home stadium was on February 28, 2020.(ESPNDEPORTES)
