Some of the Raptors newer acquisitions will take centre stage as multiple reports indicate the team will not play Kyle Lowry, Serge Ibaka, Pascal Siakam, Marc Gasol, Norman Powell or Fred VanVleet.

Kyle Lowry won't play. Neither will Ibaka, Siakam, Gasol, Powell, or VanVleet.

With Japan jet lag, it's fully an audition night.
