Toronto Raptors' Grady Dick stars in new Tim Hortons ad

The 21-year-old, who is preparing for his third season with the Raptors, posted a new ad to his Instagram as part of a joint partnership with Tim Hortons.

One of the several videos uploaded showed Dick, who was born in Wichita, Kansas, trying to guess a variety of drinks by taking sips without seeing the item. One of these items happened to be a bag of milk, which, after some thought, he was able to guess correctly.
“Is it in a bag,” said a smiling Dick. “Look at this.”
The shooting guard also picked through a variety of Timbits, which he ranked in order from honey dip, chocolate glaze, birthday cake, old-fashioned plain, blueberry cheesecake, and powdered strawberry-filled.
Dick also nailed a number of Canadian trivia questions. He knew that a beaver was Canada’s national animal, and that Tim Horton was a professional hockey player. He was also asked who he preferred between Celine Dion and Shania Twain, which, for him, seemed to be an easy answer in favour of Dion.
After a promising rookie season in 2023-24, Dick was able to improve in his sophomore campaign. Though limited to 54 games due to injury, he was averaging over 29 minutes along with 14.4 points.
Still in a rebuilding stage, the Raptors finished the 2024-25 season 11th in the Eastern Conference with a 30-52 record. They’re looking to take a step forward this year, with star talent Scottie Barnes making it clear he aims to get his team back into the playoffs for the first time since the 2021-22 season.
