4 years agoToronto Raptors point/shooting guard Fred Vanvleet and small/power forward OG Anunoby headline the newly released list of Raptors to enter the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, ruling them out for Wednesday's contest against the Hawks. The duo, along with Malachi Flynn and Patrick McCaw, joins Pascal Siakam on the sidelines, throwing the team's ability to put together enough eligible players into flux. Should Toronto have enough healthy players for Wednesday, Kyle Lowry would figure to lead the offense, while Chris Boucher, Norman Powell and Terence Davis would also see sizable increases in offensive usage. With the Raptors first-half finale coming Thursday versus Boston, it can be expected that VanVleet, Anunoby and company remain sidelined until next week, at the earliest.--Jesse Borek
