Much will be written and said about the other Raptors who will be given added responsibility and enhanced roles as the team deals with a spate of injuries to key players.
Guys such as Malcolm Miller, Chris Boucher, Terence Davis II and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will be under intense scrutiny to see if they can handle prolonged playing time over a period of weeks, instead of a few games here and there.
There is little doubt that they will be central to whatever happens to the team with Pascal Siakam, Marc Gasol and Norm Powell perched on the shelf with injuries, because those four players are basically the entire bench and starters can’t play every minute of every game.
