It may be the end of the Raptors season but it's not the end of the Raptors Queens. Watch for draft coverage, free agent signings, Masai Watch and training camp news. The future is uncertain, our world is in flux but one sure thing - Canada's first women-led Raptors podcast is here with you, for you. Stay safe! #RTZ #wethenorth #Raptors
