It's true, the guy in the suit blew out his achilles during PR in Halifax this week. The league's best mascot is done for the year.

"Opening night is three weeks away, yet the Raptors have already suffered a season-altering injury.

Prior to Toronto's preseason home opener, news broke from the Toronto Star's Doug Smith that The Raptor, the team’s mascot for the past 19 years, had blown out his Achilles and would miss the entire 2013-14 season."
