Dozens of youth took to the court at UVic’s CARSA gym on Wednesday night in a clinic led by Toronto Raptors assistant coach Jama Mahalela, players Kennedy Meeks and Malcolm Miller, and retired Raptor and NBA star Muggsy Bogues.

The Raptors are in town for their preseason training camp, Sept. 26 to 29, ahead of the NBA season. They are playing an intrasquad game today (Sept. 28) in front of 2,300 fans, followed by a private youth clinic tonight.
