Teams at different stages of the rebuilding process close out the preseason on Friday night as the Brooklyn Nets visit the Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors (3-2) close their preseason slate on Friday night when they host the Brooklyn Nets (2-1) in a matchup of Eastern Conference foes at differing stages of rebuilds. The Raptors have missed the postseason the last three years but finished strong in 2024-25, going 22-21 after a 7-26 start while developing a deep rotation and a defensive mindset. Brooklyn comes off a 26-56 campaign, its worst since 2016-17, and went young by using all five of its first-round picks in June’s draft.

The Nets return from a two-game series with the Phoenix Suns in Macao, China, where they split two meetings. After losing 132-127 in overtime on Oct. 10, Brooklyn bounced back with a 111-109 victory on Sunday. Cam Thomas, back with the Nets on a one-year qualifying offer, led the way with 16 points. Three newcomers — Michael Porter Jr., Terance Mann and rookie Nolan Traoré — started the game for Brooklyn.

Toronto returns home off a 110-108 loss at the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night. Brandon Ingram, healthy after missing most of last season with an ankle injury, scored 20 points to go with 10 rebounds. Ingram is set to make his debut for the Raptors on opening night after he was acquired in a February trade. He joins a trio of proven scorers in Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett.

The Raptors had a quiet offseason, adding No. 9 overall pick Collin Murray-Boyles and signing free agent Sandro Mamukelashvili. Brooklyn drafted Egor Dëmin, Traoré, Drake Powell, Ben Saraf and Danny Wolf in the first round while trading for Porter, Mann, Kobe Bufkin and Haywood Highsmith. Gone from last season are Cam Johnson, sent to the Denver Nuggets in the Porter deal, and free agent D’Angelo Russell.
