Raptors forward OG Anunoby (wrist) remains out against Spurs
Toronto Raptors wing OG Anunoby (wrist) remains out for Wednesday night’s home game versus the San Antonio Spurs. Otto Porter Jr. (foot) is the only other player listed on Toronto’s injury report. Of course, Porter Jr. is out for the season.
Anunoby has missed a total of 10 games so far this season. He’s been out for the last five contests. Last week, the team announced that Anunoby would miss the next four games. Wednesday’s interconference matchup will be the fourth contest.
A few NBA betting sites are showing the Raptors with 20th-ranked odds to win the championship. However, some sportsbooks are giving the Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat better playoff odds.
O.G Anunoby (wrist) has resumed light on-court work and is progressing, per Nick Nurse, but he hasn’t been cleared for contact yet and won’t play vs San Antonio tomorrow.
