DeMar DeRozan ‘tries not to think’ about Raptors possibly retiring his jersey
TORONTO — DeMar DeRozan tries not to think about the Toronto Raptors retiring his jersey.
Instead, he likes to focus on other Raptors greats who deserve the honour.
DeRozan watched Vince Carter’s No. 15 get retired — the first to be so honoured by the Raptors — during the intermission of Toronto’s 131-128 overtime win versus his Sacramento Kings on Saturday. DeRozan spent the first nine seasons of his NBA career with the Raptors, earning four all-star appearances in that span.
“It’s just more so cool to see Vince go up then, without a doubt, Kyle (Lowry) is going to be up there,” said DeRozan. “I rarely think about mine going up there, unless it’s mentioned to me.
