Raptors Add Precious Achiuwa to Injury Report, Gary Trent & O.G. Anunoby Remain Listed
The Toronto Raptors can't get to the All-Star Break soon enough.
Precious Achiuwa has been added to the team's injury report with a right ankle sprain he suffered in Sunday afternoon's game against the Detroit Pistons. He'll be questionable to play Tuesday against the Orlando Magic, the team announced.
Achiuwa joins Gary Trent Jr. who missed Sunday's game with a left calf strain and remains questionable for Tuesday. Neither player participated in Monday's practice.
O.G. Anunoby remains out with a left wrist sprain. There remains no timetable for his return as he has yet to be cleared for contact activities.
Head coach Nick Nurse missed Monday's practice for personal reasons. Assistant coach Adrian Griffin filled in for him Sunday night and will do so on Tuesday should Nurse remain away from the team.
Jakob Poeltl will likely make his second straight start since re-joining the Raptors at the trade deadline. It's unclear who will fill in for Achiuwa should he miss time.
The Raptors have one more game until the All-Star Break and then will have over a week off before taking on the New Orleans Pelicans at home on Thursday, Feb. 23.
Orlando will be on the second night of a back-to-back but they are currently fully healthy for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls.
