What happened: The Toronto Raptors say Collin Murray-Boyles has changed his jersey number from No. 12 to No. 30. The new number matches the one he wore in college at South Carolina.
Why it matters: Number changes are often a small window into how a young player wants to be identified, and Murray-Boyles is reaching back to his college identity as he settles in with Toronto. Carrying over the South Carolina number signals continuity for a player still establishing himself at the NBA level.
What to watch: Watch for how Toronto features Murray-Boyles in the rotation as he wears No. 30, and whether the switch is reflected in team merchandise and roster listings.
