Kawhi Leonard is officially back in a Toronto Raptors uniform, and as you can imagine, Drake was there to watch it go down.

Drake remains an ambassador for the Toronto Raptors, and fans are always excited to see him courtside. This season, the Raptors have a lot to be excited about, especially as Kawhi Leonard is officially back.

His reunion with the team is receiving plenty of fanfare. On Wednesday night, the Raptors had their home and season opener against the Chicago Bulls. Leonard had 23 points in a blowout victory, and Drake was courtside to watch it all go down.

In the images below, you can see that the artist was actually sporting some red cowboy boots. Furthermore, it appears as though these boots had some sort of bedazzled cross on the front. It just goes to show that the Texas aesthetic is rubbing off on Drake these days.

Drake Is Back At Scotiabank Arena

Given the Raptors' chances this season with Leonard back on the team, one can assume that we will be seeing a whole lot of Drake at Scotiabank Arena. The Raptors will be one of the hottest tickets in the league. The artist's courtside season tickets are going to be occupied for the vast majority of the team's 41 home games.

We also imagine Drake will be bringing along a large array of guests throughout the year. One game it might be Adonis, the next game it might be Chubbs. Then it could very well be Baka. The options are endless.

Only time will tell whether or not the Raptors are the team some pundits believe they can be. The expectations are heavy going into this season, and truly anything can happen.

Let us know what you think of the NBA this season in the comments below.
