Raptors 905 Unveils New Practice Facility in Mississauga

Mississauga, Ontario – The Raptors 905, the NBA G League affiliate of the Toronto Raptors, unveiled a state-of-the-art 16,000-square-foot practice facility on Saturday at the Paramount Fine Foods Centre, marking a milestone in player development and community basketball access.

The ceremony, attended by Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish, NBA G League President Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment chief operating officer Nick Eaves, and Raptors 905 vice president Courtney Charles, highlighted the facility's role in enhancing training for the team. Built through a partnership between the City of Mississauga and MLSE, the owners of both the Raptors and their G League squad, the center features a full-sized NBA regulation basketball court with three hoops, upgraded locker rooms, a spacious fitness and training area, a comprehensive medical and rehabilitation zone, and a dining room with player lounge.
