Raptors PJ Tucker expected to play Saturday after showing signs of flu

Toronto Raptors forward PJ Tucker was sent home from practice Friday after after showing signs of a flu bug that has affected other members of the team this week.

Raptors coach Dwane Casey told reporters, however, that Tucker is expected to play Saturday in Toronto's playoff series opener against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Casey said that the flu bug has been "going through" the team and that Tucker was "a little under the weather" on Friday.
