LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Yahoo sports story saying the NBA's Toronto Raptors were considering playing the coming season in Louisville has been shot down.

The article claimed the Raptors could play in the KFC Yum Center because travel to Canada has been banned during the pandemic.

Toronto's Major League Baseball and soccer teams both played their games in the United States this year so the speculation gained credibility.  

But sources with the KFC Yum Center tell Spectrum News 1 that there has been no contact between the NBA team and the facility.  The source told Spectrum News 1, "nothing at all" to the story at this time.
