Darko Rajakovic, the Raptors coach, filed for divorce with his wife.

Darko Rajakovic, the head coach of the Toronto Raptors in his first season, and his spouse Gaga announced on Wednesday that they will be making donations to the Hospital for Sick Children, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and a children’s hospital in Belgrade, Serbia. The Raptors said in a release that these recipients will be named at a later time.

The pair will donate US$20 for each assist the Raptors get this season, including the ones they have already received during the first half of the season. At the conclusion of the season, the whole sum will be given to the three hospitals.

Darko Rajakovic stated in the press release, “As parents, Gaga and I can only comprehend the sorrow that so many families endure when their children are faced with life-threating illnesses.” “We offer our entire support in any way we can, as we have been greatly impressed by the bravery, tenacity, and resilience of the children, families, and staff of the communities we have been lucky to be a part of.”

The Raptors had the second-highest assist total in the league before to Wednesday’s NBA games, averaging 29.6 assists per night, or 1,302 assists overall. Just two seasons ago, Toronto had the 23rd-best assists per game, but Rajakovic promotes ball movement, and the squad has delivered.

The NBA’s greatest current sequence of at least 25 assists in a game is 27 games, which is also the fourth-best streak in league history for Toronto.
