Raptors Share Injury Updates for Gary Trent Jr. & O.G. Anunoby

The Toronto Raptors expect O.G. Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr. to be questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets

The Toronto Raptors are running out of time to play in cautious with injuries these days.

It’s part of the problem the team is dealing with as O.G. Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr. continue to battle through injuries that’ll have them questionable to play Tuesday, Raptors coach Nick Nurse told reporters in Charlotte.

Anunoby left Sunday’s game in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury that’s considered “very mild,” Nurse said following the game. It looked quite severe at the time but Anunoby remained in the game until the Raptors had safely put away the Hornets. He then checked out and walked to the locker room for further testing.

Trent’s injury has been a strange one. He had first missed time with right elbow soreness but that has since been changed to back spasms for the last two games.

“I think Gary is close,” Nurse told reporters. “I’d really like to get him out there even if it’s limited minutes or whatever. I’d like to get him out there from a rhythm (and) conditioning standpoint more than anything.”

Toronto has just four games left this season, three on the road beginning with Charlotte on Tuesday. The team will then head to Boston for a pair against the Celtics before returning home to take on the Milwaukee Bucks in the season finale on Saturday, April 9.
