With the numbers via Salary Swish, here’s what Toronto’s roster looks like this season, with each player’s salary cap hit included for the 2024-25 season.

There are 11 returnees to the roster, while 10 new faces have come in this summer by either trade, signing, or the NBA Draft process.

The Raptors will be holding the training camp in Montreal starting in October while playing a preseason game there on October 6.

Meanwhile, the Raptors’ regular-season schedule finally dropped last week, with Toronto tipping things off at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers on October 23.
