Raptors Announcers Sidelined After COVID Contact

You won't hear Raptors play-by-play crew members Matt Devlin or Jack Armstrong for the next two games. Both broadcasters came in contact with someone believed to have COVID-19 and will sit out the matches in isolation as a precaution. 

But the show will go on, with some substitutes off the bench. According to a statement:

"Tonight’s game on TSN will be called by Paul Jones and Leo Rautins, and tomorrow’s game on Sportsnet remotely by Eric Smith and Amy Audibert."

Thursday's contest has been postponed, after members of the Chicago Bulls evidenced COVID concerns of their own. The Leafs will also be off that day, over similar worries.
