The stretch run is officially underway!
The All-Star break couldn’t have come at a better time for the Toronto Raptors. The layoff allowed the team to get healthy. Gary Trent Jr. is off the injury report, while O.G. Anunoby and Thad Young are listed as questionable for the Pelicans game, but are expected to play. Newly (re-)acquired Jakob Poeltl had a full week to get up-to-speed with Nick Nurse’s playbook. Toronto’s closest rivals in the standings are showing kinks in their respective armours.
So, where’s the excitement?
Yes, there are concerns about Toronto’s remaining schedule.
