All of a sudden, Gary Trent Jr. is back on the injured report.
The 25-year-old guard appeared on the Toronto Raptors’ injury report with an ailment, despite having recovered from back spasms on Friday night. The organisation declared that he is officially categorised as questionable to play against the Washington Wizards on Sunday.
Due to right knee pain, Bruce Brown Jr. has also been rated as doubtful. Having been listed as questionable before Friday’s game, he has missed two games due to the injury but seems to be improving.
DJ Carton, Chris Boucher, Jontay Porter, Scottie Barnes, and Jakob Poeltl are still not in Toronto.
The Raptors have a chance to win two straight games against the lowly Wizards, who have the second-worst record in the NBA, after finally breaking their 15-game losing run against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.
Given that Toronto has all but assured itself of having the sixth-worst record in the league, Sunday’s game shouldn’t have a significant impact on lottery odds. Nevertheless, a win by the Wizards would probably guarantee Toronto’s first-round selection and give the Detroit Pistons the worst record of the year. The pick was obtained by the Raptors through the New York Knicks in the original Anunoby deal.
The Wizards have not yet released their roster of injuries for their game on Sunday. Bilal Coulibaly, Marvin Bagley III, Richaun Holmes, Tyus Jones, Kyle Kuzma, Isaiah Livers, and Landry Shamet were not present for their game on Friday.
To conclude their final homestand of the season, Toronto will play the Indiana Pacers and the Wizards on Tuesday.
