Raptors extend stay in Las Vegas following NBA championship party

The Toronto Raptors are living large after winning their first title in NBA history but don’t appear to be in any rush to get home after knocking off the Golden State Warriors on Thursday.

The team joined Drake at XS Nightclub in Vegas on Friday night to celebrate the accomplishment of a lifetime. After having a great time, the Raptors announced through a spokesperson that they will extend their trip in Vegas by one day, delaying their hero’s welcome back to Toronto.

Some of the team already made a quick return home, however.

They certainly weren’t going about it quietly either, and nor should they.

Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard likely explained the origins of the ‘board man gets paid’ story to Marc Gasol at the club, who looked eager to listen.

Pascal Siakam and Jodie Meeks were living it up, too.

It wasn’t necessarily a wild night for everyone, as Leonard was later spotted at a roulette table, typically nonchalant.

As Drake says, what a time to be alive. An extra day in Vegas couldn’t hurt too much, we presume, and the Raptors will be back in Toronto on Monday for a parade that the city’s been waiting two decades to host.
