DeMar DeRozan will always hold a special place in the hearts of Toronto. He brought light and life to the team and a new look to the franchise. 

He poured his heart into the city and the city returned the love, in his first visit to Toronto greeted with a standing ovation. This is only his second time returning to the city since his trade. Before the game, he spoke about his time in Toronto, the fond memories he still holds, and what it's like playing with the Spurs.

Even though the Raptors already pulled out all the stops for DeRozan’s first return to Toronto last season, it’s clear that there’s a special relationship there between the player and the city, and let’s not rule it out that he gets another tribute video this time.Like DeRozan says, it’ll always be strange. We’ll always have those old memories.
