OG Anunoby Finger Laceration Continues to Impact Practice, Appears Unlikely for Wednesday

The Toronto Raptors appear unlikely to have OG Anunoby on Wednesday as he continues to battle through a finger laceration

Don’t count on OG Anunoby returning Wednesday night for the Toronto Raptors.

The All-Defense forward was seen with a wrap on his right index finger during Tuesday’s practice and was not doing any activities with his injured hand. While he did do some dribbling and shooting with his left hand, it appears as though the finger laceration he sustained at home is likely to keep him out of the lineup against the Milwaukee Bucks.

As for Gary Trent Jr., he remains day-to-day with right foot plantar fasciitis, Raptors coach Darko Rajaković said. Toronto has yet to officially list either Anunoby or Trent on the injury report, but it appears both players will be questionable.

“Nothing that would rule them in or out today. We’ll see tomorrow,” Rajaković added.

Dennis Schröder, meanwhile, is feeling better, Rajaković said, after the Raptors guard was clearly banged up in Monday’s game. He and the team took it easy during Tuesday’s practice as the team is in the middle of a 10-game stretch in 17 days.

“We’ve got to be very smart (about) how much we're doing and what we're doing on the court,” Rajaković said.

As for Precious Achiuwa, he’s yet to return to 100% as he works his way back from a left groin strain. He was battling the injury during the preseason and said he tweaked it on the second night of a back-to-back against the Philadelphia 76es. He said he’s following the team’s medical advice and is hoping to be back in top game shape soon.

Christian Koloko remains without a timeline for his return from an ongoing respiratory issue.
