A locker room is a sanctuary for the players on a professional team.
It is the primary space away from the court where they develop the chemistry and bonds that help them become even better than their collective talents.
Even coaches, men in charge of these players, men who tell these players what they expect of them and how they will be deployed respect the room as the players’ space.
Raptors coach Dwane Casey and his staff obviously have access to the room, but they have their office and the players have their room.
Which brings us to what you are not going to find in the players’ locker room anymore.
And that would be scoresheets.
It’s common practice that after every game each player is provided a scoresheet. The sheet breaks down the individual players’ contributions as well as team totals.
That won’t be happening anymore in Toronto. Rudy Gay has put a stop to it.
