The Toronto Raptors were punched in the mouth in their game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Not only did potential trade piece Kyle Lowry exit the game due to back spasms in the first quarter, but Toronto was also without their head coach Nick Nurse for a significant portion of the second half after he was ejected for receiving his second technical foul in the third quarter.
