NBA rookie Collin Murray-Boyles is getting into the Halloween spirit a week early, and fans are loving it. 

The Toronto Raptors power forward, 20, was roasted by fans on Mon. Oct. 20 after he shared a carousel of photos on Instagram dressed up in a hilarious Halloween costume, alongside several of his rookie teammates. 

 Murray-Boyles, and Raptors' rookies Alijah Martin & Chucky Hepburn dressed up as three characters - Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po - from the classic children's television show Teletubbies, which first aired in 1997. 

The NBA rookie captioned the post, "Happy Halloween🎃." 

Martin was quick to praise he and his teammates' look, commenting on Murray-Boyle's post, "We fly ngl (not gonna lie) 🔥."

Raptors rookies Collin Murray Boyles, Alijah Martin, and Chucky Hepburn go viral for Teletubby costumes 

While he didn't divulge if the costume was part of his rookie duties, some fans were quick to suggest that it was likely the reason for his costume choice. 

"Glad to see y’all handle the rookie duties so well 💪🏽💯🦖," one user commented. 

"Rook squad," another person wrote. 

"Who lost the bet," a third added. 

Murray-Boyles was selected by the Raptors at the No. 9 overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft. 

The University of South Carolina alum became the program's first opening-round pick since Renaldo Balkman was picked up No. 20 overall by the Knicks in 2006. 

He will soon get to prove what he can do in the league. 

In his last season at USC, he averaged 16.8 points per game, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists.  

The Raptors are hoping to put together a competitive 2025-26 campaign. They recently made a bunch of cuts to trim down their roster to its regular season size.
