Raptors' DeMar DeRozan To Return To Compton High To Retire Jersey
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Toronto Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan will make an appearance Thursday at Compton High School, where his varsity jersey will be retired.
DeRozan will be honored by his alma mater and the Compton Unified School District (CUSD) when his jersey will be retired during tonight's game against Cabrillo High School, which marks the final game of Compton High's season.
The 2014 All-Star will also receive a framed varsity jersey before hoisting a banner bearing his No. 23 jersey up to the gym's rafters during half-time.
During his senior year at Compton High, DeRozan averaged over 29 points, nearly 4 assists and almost 8 rebounds per game over the 2007-08 season.
After making his first NBA All-Star appearance in 2014, DeRozan has missed almost half of the 2014-15 season with a groin injury.
