TORONTO - While Precious Achiuwa has resumed some light practising, Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse erased any expectations the athletic forward would be back playing any time soon.
“Probably each day getting a little closer . . . (but) you’re looking at the new year for sure,” Nurse said after practice Thursday. “I wouldn’t even put him in the 60 to 70 per cent range. He’s not near contact.
“It’s good that he’s out there, he’s moving, he’s trying to do some stuff, it’s getting a little better every day, he is engaged, trying to do a few drills here and there when we’re teaching and things like that, so he’s trying to stay connected.
