The Raptors’ frontcourt ranks continue to thin.
Chris Boucher, pencilled in to start in place of Pascal Siakam while the all-star forward recovers from off-season shoulder surgery, may now be out for a month himself.
Boucher had surgery to repair a dislocated middle finger on his left hand, and coach Nick Nurse said the Montreal native could be out three or four weeks. Boucher was hurt during a training camp practice last week and had the operation on the weekend, team officials said.
The Raptors do have options to fill the spot with a roster laden with long, athletic forwards who could get time there.
