Toronto Raptors rookie OG Anunoby made his NBA debut on Thursday, scoring nine points in 17 minutes in a 117-100 victory against the Chicago Bulls.
“It felt good to play my first game,” Anunoby opened up afterward.
Anunoby previously appeared in two pre-season games, looking similarly impressive. The start of the regular season brought with it a much different environment for the forward.
“Yeah,” he admitted. “There was more people here at this one.”
Anunoby will likely play again Saturday when the Raptors host the Philadelphia 76ers, and for at least a few more years after that.
