The Toronto Raptors are facing scrutiny for their player participation choices as they aim for a better draft position. Despite recent wins, fans are concerned about the team's performance and potential violations of NBA rules regarding player participation. The NBA's policy, aimed at ensuring star players participate, has led to calls for an investigation into the Raptors. The team has been resting their only star player, Scottie Barnes, while focusing on developing younger talent. The Raptors may be exploiting a loophole in the policy, as only one player qualifies as a star. This situation raises questions about the league's enforcement of its own rules regarding player participation.
