If there’s a game that broke the camel’s back for the Raptors fanbase, still hoping for a miracle, Wednesday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Blue, er, Thunder did it. Yes, that’s right — the Raptors lost to a Thunder team composed of third stringers and G League players. It doesn’t help that the other news coming out of that game was that Toronto’s Kyle Lowry will be missing 7-10 days due to a toe infection. When it rains, it pours, and then it thunder storms.
With Lowry missing anywhere from 3-5 games, the remaining core of Pascal Siakam-OG Anunoby-Fred VanVleet may get stretched thin again.
