Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby will be sidelined for the team’s upcoming game against the Charlotte Hornets due to a calf injury. The injury occurred during the Raptors’ previous game against the Indiana Pacers, where Anunoby was forced to leave the game early after experiencing discomfort in his calf.
Anunoby has been a key player for the Raptors this season, averaging 15.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by the team, as he has been a reliable scorer and defender for them throughout the season.
Head coach Nick Nurse expressed disappointment over Anunoby’s injury, stating that he is an important player for the team and will be missed in their upcoming game against the Hornets. Nurse also mentioned that the team will need to step up in Anunoby’s absence and continue to play at a high level.
The Raptors are currently in a tight race for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, and every game is crucial for them as they look to secure a postseason berth. Anunoby’s injury is certainly a setback for the team, but they will need to rally together and find ways to win games without him on the court.
It is unclear how long Anunoby will be sidelined with his calf injury, but the Raptors will likely provide updates on his status as more information becomes available. In the meantime, fans will have to wait and see how the team performs without one of their key players in the lineup.
