Toronto Raptors Injury Update
Aside from Ingram’s heel issue, starting point guard Immanuel Quickley remains out for the entire series. Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett will have to do the lion’s share of the work for the Raptors to keep their campaign alive. Head coach Marko Rajkovic knows this and is once again ready to share the responsibilities among his players.
“Over the course of the season, we were missing different players at different times,” Rajakovic said before Game 6. “The quality and strength of this team is finding ways. Finding ways for somebody else to step up and to fill in the role and help the team. Obviously missing two starters in IQ [Immanuel Quickley] and BI is a lot, but at the same time, we have enough players on this roster to continue going.”
