1996–97 Toronto Raptors season

The 1996–97 NBA season was the Raptors' second season in the National Basketball Association.[1] The Raptors had the second overall pick in the 1996 NBA draft, and drafted Marcus Camby from the University of Massachusetts,[2][3][4][5][6] and started their season with new head coach Darrell Walker.[7][8][9] Veteran leadership was added as the team signed free agent Walt Williams,[10][11][12] acquired Popeye Jones from the Dallas Mavericks,[13][14][15] acquired three-point specialist Hubert Davis from the New York Knicks,[16][17][18] and signed John Long, who came out of his retirement. The team also signed Benoit Benjamin, but released him to free agency after only just four games.[19][20] Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the NBA, the Raptors started their season by wearing throwback uniforms of the Toronto Huskies in their season opener against the New York Knicks at the SkyDome on November 1, 1996, but lost to the Knicks, 107–99.[21][22][23]
