Drake Makes Courtside Appearance in Bedazzled Red Cowboy Boots for Toronto Raptors Home Opener
Drizzy's team throttled the Chicago Bulls as Kawhi Leonard made his return.
The Toronto Raptors welcomed back their star player Kawhi Leonard for their home opener against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night (October 21). The event marked the beginning of the basketball season, and the team's official ambassador, Drake, was there to support Leonard in his courtside seat. Dressed in all-black and bedazzled red cowboy boots, the "6 God" gave the Raptors a shout-out during the broadcast and was featured on the jumbotron throughout the game.
With Leonard, Immanuel Quickley, and Scottie Barnes combining for 23 points, the Toronto Raptors secured a 135-92 victory over the Chicago Bulls. R.J. Barrett contributed 20 points to the win, signaling a promising start to the season for the Raptors. The team will face the Washington Wizards on Friday, October 23, as they aim to build on their strong opening.
Meanwhile, Drake is currently embroiled in a lawsuit claiming he improperly used a songwriter's demo for the chorus of his Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit "Janice STFU." The accusations have been denied by Drake's team, stating that there is no truth to the claims. Despite the legal troubles, Drake continues to make his presence felt at Raptors games, as evidenced by his appearance in the courtside seat on Wednesday night.
