8-10 cities in the United States have expressed their interest to host the Toronto Raptors next season, per Keith Smith of Yahoo Sports.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, travel to Canada has been banned and it is likely the Raptors will be forced to play their home games in the United States.

Cities, like Louisville, Nashville, Kansas City and New Jersey, have already emerged as candidates to host Toronto.

However, the NBA is in talks with the Canadian government in order to find a solution and have the Raptors play their games in Toronto.

A decision on that matter is expected in the coming weeks.
