Serge Ibaka is headed north of the border after the Orlando
Magic agreed to trade the three-time all-defensive first teamer
to the Toronto Raptors for Terrence Ross and a 2017 first-round
pick.
Ibaka, 27, was traded to the Magic last offseason after spending
seven seasons with Oklahoma City in a deal that featured Victor
Oladipo. Ibaka averaged 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks
in 56 games with Orlando.
Ross, 26, is averaging 10.4 points through 54 games in his fifth
season in Toronto.

Charles Oakley's ban from Madison Square Garden lasted less than
a week.
The former New York Knicks player was banned from the team's
home games last Friday after his highly-publicized altercation
with security, who forcibly removed him from the arena during
last Wednesday's game.
He was arrested and charged with three misdemeanor counts of
assault and one misdemeanor count of trespassing.
On Tuesday, a Madison Square Garden source told ESPN the ban was
lifted, one day after NBA commissioner Adam Silver met with
Knicks owner James Dolan and Oakley. Michael Jordan, a friend
and former teammate of Oakley, also participated in the
discussion via telephone. (Editing by Larry Fine) ))
