Raptors 905 announced their preseason schedule for the 2017-18 season on Tuesday, and they’ll once again be squaring off with some competition from Canada’s NBL.
The 905 will head to London, Ontario, to play the defending champion London Lightning on Oct. 28 this year. The Lightning are led by former NBA first-round pick and reigning NBL MVP Royce White, who averaged 20.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 5.7 assists in 49 games. (I caught up with White at the start of last season, if you’re interested in more.)
The defending G-League champs will then return home to Hershey Centre to host the Eric Bayhawks on Oct. 30. And that’s it! A tidy two-game preseason, and then things officially get under way on Nov. 5.
What the 905 roster will look like is a big question mark at present, heavily contingent on how final cuts with the parent club Toronto Raptors come down.
| Date | Opponent | Venue | Time | ||||

| Monday, October 30 | Erie BayHawks | Hershey Centre | 7 p.m. |
