The Toronto Raptors arrived in southwest Florida on Monday, set to begin their preparations for next month's restart of the NBA season.
If the Raptors return to the NBA Finals, they could be in Florida for nearly four full months.
The reigning NBA champions will start training for the season restart later this week at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, making that school their home base until they head north to the Disney complex near Orlando, Florida, around July 7.
What awaits the Raptors is a different setup than what will be the case for the other 21 NBA teams that will be participating in the restart at Disney.
Other teams will be working out at their home facilities, but as the NBA's lone team from outside the U.S., the Raptors would have had some logistical difficulties in having players gather in Toronto to prepare for the trip to Disney.
