Nick Nurse: Raptors to Visit Justin Trudeau After Title, Unsure on Donald Trump

The Toronto Raptors will continue their NBA championship celebration with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, but it's unclear if a visit with U.S. President Donald Trump is in the cards.

In an appearance on SportsNet 590 on Wednesday, Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said they are already working on scheduling a visit with Trudeau.

"Definitely the Trudeau meeting, because they've been asking me about scheduling it," he said. "I've heard nothing about the White House. We're Canada's team anyway, right?"

The Raptors are the first team from Canada to win a championship in one of North America's four major professional sports since the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup in 1993.

Nurse emphasized his desire to celebrate the Raptors' title in their home country: "Let's go see Trudeau up in Ottawa. ... We're Canada's team."

In lieu of visiting Trump at the White House the previous two years, members of the Golden State Warriors spent a day with children at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., in February 2018 and met with former President Barack Obama in January.

An NBA champion hasn't visited the White House since the Cleveland Cavaliers met with Obama in November 2016.

The Raptors won their first title by defeating the Warriors in six games in the NBA Finals.
