TORONTO - A day after Precious Achiuwa returned from injury, he lamented a couple of alley-oops thrown to him from Scottie Barnes.
Achiuwa had 11 points and three blocks in an energetic 12 minutes in the Toronto Raptors’ 122-114 loss in Indiana. It was his first game after missing 24 with torn ankle ligaments, and his return is one of the bright spots in a frustrating stretch for Toronto.
But those alley-oops, he joked, definitely tested his fitness.
“The first one was good. The second one, he could have just dumped it off to me,” Achiuwa said Tuesday.
