Raptors to Retire Vince Carter's Jersey Nov. 2

The Toronto Raptors will retire Vince Carter's No. 15 jersey on November 2 when they face the Sacramento Kings, making him the first player in the franchise's 30-year history to receive this honor. This follows the Brooklyn Nets' recent announcement to retire Carter's jersey on January 25. Carter, who will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame next month, spent his first six and a half seasons with the Raptors, where he earned the nickname 'Air Canada' and led the team to their first playoff appearances. Despite his controversial departure in 2004, Carter eventually mended ties with the Raptors, receiving warm ovations in later years. His legacy includes being an eight-time All-Star, 1999 Rookie of the Year, and 2000 Slam Dunk Contest champion.
