2012–13 Toronto Raptors season
NBA professional basketball team season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2012–13 Toronto Raptors season was the 18th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). In the off-season, after failing to obtain Steve Nash in free agency, the Raptors acquired Kyle Lowry from the Houston Rockets for a first round pick. The season also marked the debut of Jonas Valančiūnas, their first pick in the 2011 draft from Lithuania. On January 30, 2013, the Raptors acquired Rudy Gay in a three-way deal with the Memphis Grizzlies and Detroit Pistons which sent longtime point guard José Calderón to the Pistons. Despite a winning home record (21–20) the Raptors failed to secure a playoff spot with a 34–48 record. This season also marked the official beginning of the DeRozan/Lowry era in Toronto.
