The Wayne and Theresa Embry Fellowship will provide two Canadians the opportunity to gain firsthand experience in a professional basketball environment over the course of a full NBA season. The Raptors commit to providing at least one of the fellowship opportunities to an individual who identifies as part of a marginalized and/or racialized group.

The fellowship consists of rotations to provide growth of knowledge and experience in all facets of an NBA team. These include: coaching, scouting, team services, player advancement, medical, equipment, travel, G-League, public relations, basketball operations, analytics, culture and inclusion, scouting, and NBA Draft. Each rotation will include a mentor and specific responsibilities to learn the role that each department plays within an NBA organization.

As a fellow, you may also have the opportunity to gain event operations experience at NBA Summer League and Basketball without Borders world camp held during WNBA/NBA All-Star weekend. Travel and accommodations for these events will be covered as part of the Fellowship experience. The fellows will begin in June of 2025, and will receive a $50,000 CAD stipend for the year, which will be paid out semi-monthly.
