The Toronto Raptors may be without OG Anunoby on Monday night against the Washington Wizards.

The 26-year-old forward has popped up as questionable with a right finger laceration. He had not been listed on Toronto's initial injury report and was able to finish the Raptors' most recent game against the Boston Celtics without injury. It's unclear when he suffered the injury.

Anunoby has only missed one other game this season with muscle spasms.

It's a bit of a concern for Toronto who may also be without Gary Trent Jr. who is also listed as questionable with right foot plantar fasciitis. Trent missed Saturday's game after injuring his foot on Friday during practice.

If both are unable to play, expect Otto Porter Jr. to see more playing time and potentially slide into the starting lineup for Toronto. He's quickly become one of the team's most reliable bench guards and his three-point shooting can help replace what would be lost without Anunoby.

While Monday's game should be winnable even without key rotation players, Toronto faces off against the Milwaukee Bucks and Celtics on Wednesday and Friday. Those two games will be far more difficult to win if Anunoby remains out.

Christian Koloko is the only other player on the injury report as he battles an ongoing respiratory issue.

Washington has yet to announce its injury report for Monday as the Wizards will be on the second night of a back-to-back. Delon Wright is expected to miss the game with a right knee sprain.
