European stars Andrea Bargnani and Linas Kleiza spearheaded the Toronto Raptors training camp as it opened Tuesday at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada.

The Raptors, who have shaken up their roster following the departure of Chris Bosh this summer, will be splitting their training camp in two stages.

Starting from 28 September to 1 October, the Raptors are be training on their home court at Air Canada. The team will then shift to high-altitude training, when the second phase of training camp begins on 2 October at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

The Raptors also announced Tuesday the complete list of their training camp roster. Bargnani and Kleiza are expected to lead this young mix of players, as they look to move on from Bosh era.

The 24-year-old Bargnani has immediately emerged as the franchise leader, but the Italian centre appears reluctant to embrace his role.
