64 m. ago Last Toronto Raptors player from 2019 Championship team keeps getting benched

Toronto Raptors forward Chris Boucher has pretty much seen it all since joining the franchise nearly seven years ago.The longest-tenured player on the roster, who's suited up for 406 games with Toronto, Boucher's one of the few people who have stuck around to see out the Raptors rebuild over the past few seasons.But while he's played in Toronto more than any of his teammates, suiting up isn't exactly something he's doing right now.Boucher has sat out the last seven contests, six of which were listed as coach's decisions, with one absence on March 7 related to a wisdom tooth extraction.

I do not believe that financial insecurity should stop our nation's elite athletes from breaking through to new frontiers of excellence," said Stevens."Team USA athletes, extraordinary individuals, have proven they can achieve greatness and...
