There's nothing like the grind that is an 82-game schedule, especially for teams that are "locks" to make the postseason.
The Raptors are one of those teams at this point in the season, but they've hit a rough patch as they've lost six of their last seven games after dropping a game to Orlando at home Sunday night.
Still, there's a lot to be excited about if you're a fan of the team, and one reason among others is that DeMar DeRozan is back.
Toronto's All-Star missed the three games before the matchup with the Magic, and fans weren't the only ones excited about his return to the lineup as Kyle Lowry displayed while on the jumbotron.
We honestly don't think any athlete has ever been as excited as Lowry was to be on the jumbotron.
Add in the fact that he's got his fellow All-Star back and we get why he's so excited. Obviously both players won't be happy with the latest loss, but a matchup with the lowly Pelicans on Tuesday could end the struggles.
After that, though, it gets a little tougher as the Raps head out on the road for a three game trip that starts in Boston and ends in Brooklyn.
