The 2002–03 Toronto Raptors season was the Raptors' 8th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Things looked bleak for the Raptors early in the season as Hakeem Olajuwon announced his retirement due to a back injury. In addition, Vince Carter continued to feel the lingering effect of his knee injury as he missed most of the first half of the season. Despite playing only 43 games, he was still voted to play in his fourth straight All-Star Game. However, Carter ended up giving the starting position to a retiring Michael Jordan. Despite this, the Raptors managed to play mediocre basketball all season, finishing with a dismal 24–58 record. After the 2002–03 season, Lenny Wilkens was let go as coach of the Raptors and replaced by Kevin O'Neill.^[2]
