4 years agoToronto Raptors small/power forwards OG Anunoby (calf) and Yuta Watanabe (ankle) have both been ruled out for Thursday's contest versus the Celtics. Anunoby appears to be progressing toward a return in the near future, as he has joined the team on its road trip, but Toronto will remain thin on the wing for at least one more contest. DeAndre' Bembry has seen a significant increase in minutes off the bench without Anunoby available, as Norman Powell has continued to thrive among the starting five, morphing into a must-roster season-long asset, at least on a short-term basis. The next chance that the Raptors will get to return to full health comes Sunday against Minnesota.--Jesse Borek
