The Toronto Raptors could see injured guard Bruce Brown return to the lineup as early as Sunday against the Miami Heat, and that's rad! In Episode 1759, it's another Toxic Positivity Friday where Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Locked On NBA Newsletters, Basketball Feelings) to run through this week in good feelings surrounding the 5-14 Toronto Raptors. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about the impending return of Bruce Brown, what his addition to the lineup might mean for the team, why they're excited to see him play at full steam, and the end of his sideline fits. Next, they chat about what is looking like a franchise-changing rookie class for the Raptors, with thoughts on Jamison Battle, Jamal Shead, Jonathan Mogbo and Ja'Kobe Walter all looking the part well ahead of schedule. Lastly, Sean pitches Katie on a very simple, perhaps toxically positive proposal regarding the return of a Raptors legend in the twilight of his career.
