NBA Playoffs: OG Anunoby Out for Multiple Games with Hamstring Injury
Toronto Forward to Miss at Least Next Two Contests
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby has been ruled out for the next two games of their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Indiana Pacers due to a hamstring injury. The team announced the news Wednesday, with ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reporting that Anunoby is also likely to miss Game 5 of the series.
Injury Timeline and Impact
Anunoby sustained the injury during Game 3 of the series and did not return to the game. The Raptors have not provided a specific timeline for his return, but Wojnarowski indicated that he is expected to miss at least the next two games and is unlikely to be available for Game 5.
Anunoby's absence is a significant blow to the Raptors, as he is one of their key defenders and a solid three-point shooter. The forward has averaged 10.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game in the playoffs this season.
The Raptors will now have to adjust their lineup without Anunoby. Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes, and Chris Boucher are likely to see increased minutes in his absence.
