OG Anunoby’s finger laceration is still affecting practice, and Wednesday looks unlikely.
With his finger laceration, OG Anunoby looks unlikely to play for the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.
During Tuesday’s practice, the All-Defense forward was observed wearing a wrap over his right index finger and not using his injured hand in any way. Despite dribbling and shooting occasionally with his left hand, it seems that the finger laceration he received at home will probably prevent him from starting against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Regarding Gary Trent Jr., Raptors coach Darko Rajaković stated that he is still sidelined due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Although Trent and Anunoby are not yet formally included on Toronto’s injury report, it seems likely that both players will be questionable.
Nothing that would exclude them from consideration today. We’ll find out tomorrow,” Rajaković continued.
Rajaković stated that Dennis Schröder, the Raptors guard who was visibly injured during Monday’s game, is feeling better. The team is in the middle of a 10-game stretch in 17 days, so he and the group took it easy during practice on Tuesday.
“We need to exercise extreme caution in both our quantity and quality of play on the court,” Rajaković stated.
Precious Achiuwa is still recovering from a left groin strain, so he hasn’t reached 100%. He claimed to have adjusted the injury on the second night of a back-to-back with the Philadelphia 76ers. He had been dealing with it during the preseason. He stated that he is heeding the medical advice of the team and anticipates returning to peak performance soon.
There is still no word on when Christian Koloko will recover from his persistent respiratory problem.
