The Raptors' Injury Report is Starting to Look Like a CVS Receipt
Underdog NBA reported the massive injury list for November 11.
The NBA injury report just dropped for November 11, and the ' medical staff might need to start holding open tryouts in the parking lot.
is already ruled out with a groin issue, and now , Collin Murray-Boyles, and Trayce Jackson-Davis are all officially questionable. Oh, and Kawhi Leonard is listed as out for Toronto, which is basically just a permanent state of being at this point in his career.
Losing your franchise cornerstone is bad enough, but the domino effect is what actually ruins a rotation. Quickley has been trying to shake off a hamstring injury while still managing to put up 17.4 points and 5.8 assists per game. If he sits, the offense loses its primary engine.
Murray-Boyles was supposed to be the safety net here. The second-year forward just dropped 19 points and four steals in 34 minutes while filling in for Barnes, but now he is questionable with an illness. When the guy replacing your injured star gets sick, you know the basketball gods are just laughing at you.
the deep bench is taking hits, with Jackson-Davis also questionable despite averaging just four minutes a night in his recent appearances.
When a team is missing its best player and potentially its starting point guard and backup forward, the betting lines turn into a complete guessing game. You are no longer handicapping a professional basketball team. You are handicapping a random assortment of guys wearing laundry.
Toronto has to figure out who is actually putting on a jersey before tipoff. If Quickley and Murray-Boyles cannot go, expect the few remaining healthy bodies to play heavy, exhausting minutes just to survive the night.
