TORONTO – The Toronto Raptors say the club’s broadcast duo of Matt Devlin and Jack Armstrong will stay away from the team “for a period of time” due to possible exposure to COVID-19.
According to a team statement, Devlin and Armstrong will miss at least two games because they may have been in contact with a person outside the organization who has since tested positive for COVID-19.

“While this action is not mandated by the NBA, we are especially mindful of the example that Matt and Jack set for so many people across the country, and we are grateful to them for their thoughtfulness and responsibility.”
