Toronto Raptors stars Scottie Barnes and Jamal Shead were drafted for a different kind of assignment on Friday, joining the National Ballet of Canada’s annual production of “The Nutcracker.”
Celebrity guests joining the production to play cannon dolls is a tradition that dates back more than six decades. Barnes and Shead traded in their usual jerseys for colourful costumes adorned with pom-poms, following in the footsteps of previous Raptors players Kyle Lowry and Matt Thomas.
