2012–13 Toronto Raptors season

The 2012–13 Toronto Raptors season was the 18th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). In the off-season, after failing to obtain Steve Nash in free agency, the Raptors acquired Kyle Lowry from the Houston Rockets for a first-round pick. The season also marked the debut of Jonas Valančiūnas, their first pick in the 2011 draft from Lithuania. On January 30, 2013, the Raptors acquired Rudy Gay in a three-way deal with the Memphis Grizzlies and Detroit Pistons which sent longtime point guard José Calderón to the Pistons. Despite a winning home record (21–20) the Raptors failed to secure a playoff spot with a 34–48 record. This season also marked the official beginning of the DeRozan/Lowry era in Toronto.

The Raptors would not miss the playoffs again until 2021.

This was also their last losing season in a full 82-game season until the 2023-24 season.

Key dates June 28: The 2012 NBA draft took place at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
