History

Historical Context

In 1995 the NBA expanded into Canada, adding the Toronto Raptors and Vancouver Grizzlies, the first NBA franchises there since the 1946-47 Toronto Huskies. The expansion draft and the June 28, 1995 draft—held at Toronto’s SkyDome and costing each team $125 million—forced both clubs to rely on rookies, and the Raptors’ Damon Stoudamire won Rookie of the Year.
