The Raptors are getting some... good news tonight? Yes! For one, Khem Birch is officially on the team now and seems legit excited to round out these final 19 games with the 21-32 Raptors, who currently sit in 11th place. For two, Kyle Lowry has been upgraded from out, to questionable, to probable, to available, to, yes, the starting lineup. Against the New York Knicks, at 26-27, it’s no small thing to have your best players at hand.
Third, as expected, Pascal Siakam will be back on the court tonight after a much deserved night off.
