O.G. Anunoby's Injury Status For Pelicans-Raptors Game

O.G. Anunoby is on the injury report for Thursday’s game.

On Thursday evening, the Toronto Raptors are hosting the New Orleans Pelicans in Canada.

For the game, O.G. Anunoby is listed on the injury report as questionable.

The former Indiana Hoosier has missed the last nine games but could make his return on Thursday (via Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports). 

Lewenberg on Tuesday: "Anunoby, Trent and Thad Young all participated in the Raptors’ evening practice today. Per Nurse, they all looked “good, healthy and ready to go.” He expects them all to play Thursday vs New Orleans."

Sounds like the plan is to ease those guys back, especially Anunoby who missed the last 9 games before the break with a wrist injury. Nurse wouldn’t say who they’ll start now that everybody’s healthy. “We’ll look at it… We’ve got some decision to make but they’re good decisions”

Anunoby is one of the best players on the team, so getting him back on the floor is big news.   

The 25-year-old is currently averaging 16.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.1 steals per contest in 45 games.  

He is also shooting 45.7% from the field and 36.6% from the three-point range. 

Right now, the Raptors are the tenth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 28-31 record in 59 games.  

They are in the middle of a two-game winning streak and are 6-4 in their last ten games. 

At home, the Raptors have gone 18-13 in the 31 games they have hosted in Canada.

As for the Pelicans, they are tied for the seventh seed in the Western Conference with a 30-29 record in 59 games. 

They are 4-6 in their last ten games and 10-19 in the 29 games they have played on the road outside of New Orleans.
