The 2005-2006 NBA season was the Raptors' eleventh season in the National Basketball Association. In the 2005 offseason, the Raptors selected Charlie Villanueva and Joey Graham with the seventh and sixteenth pick, respectively, in the first found of the 2005 NBA draft. After the draft, the Raptors signed an undrafted José Calderón as a free agent. The Raptors started the regular season 1–15, and the team struggled the remainder of the season, playing sub .500 basketball. On January 26, 2006, the Raptors fired general manager Rob Babcock. Wayne Embry was named interim general manager, until the February 28, 2006 hiring of Phoenix Suns president and general manager Bryan Colangelo as the Raptors' new general manager. On February 3, 2006, the Raptors traded Jalen Rose, a first-round draft pick, and an undisclosed amount of cash to the New York Knicks in exchange for Antonio Davis, a move likely made to clear Jalen Rose's annual 16 million dollar salary from the team salary cap. Antonio Davis would play eight games for the Raptors before missing the next twelve games with a back injury. On March 23, 2006, the Raptors released Antonio Davis when team doctors diagnosed Davis' back injury as being season-ending.
The Raptors had the fifth best team offensive rating in the NBA.
In a game against the Los Angeles Lakers on January 22, 2006, L.A.'s Kobe Bryant scored 81 points against the Raptors, which was the second-most points scored in NBA history at the time until it was broken by Bam Adebayo's 83-point performance against the Washington Wizards in 2026.
