Team News - Toronto Raptors

Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors have no fresh injury concerns and will have almost all players available for selection ahead of this game. The only absentee for the Raptors against the Boston Celtics will be Patrick McCaw.

The 25-year-old is still recovering from a knee injury and isn't expected to be back for at least the next four weeks. Given how much the franchise needs quality players in its rotation right now, the team will really miss McCaw during this period.
