Raptors fans give former coach Casey standing ovation in return

Toronto Raptors fans still have a special place in their heart for Dwane Casey.

That was abundantly clear on Wednesday as those in attendance for Casey's return to Toronto with the Detroit Pistons gave the team's former coach a standing ovation at Scotiabank Arena.

Casey, 61, was named the NBA's Coach of the Year in 2017-18 after he led Toronto to a 59-23 record and the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Raptors won their first-round playoff series over the Washington Wizards in six games, but were swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
