The Toronto Raptors have officially been knocked out of the in-season tournament, suffering two consecutive losses, according to Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca.
Currently sitting at the bottom of the standings, they are gearing up for a game against the Chicago Bulls tonight.
The Raptors have currently shifted their focus to beating the Brooklyn Nets next, as the outcome of the Chicago match holds less significance.
Their objective is to deny the Boston Celtics’ progress to the next stage purely for the sake of revenge, Blake Murphy added.
Achiuwa Returns
Precious Achiuwa, who was sidelined with a knee issue, is set to return for Friday’s game against the Bulls.
His brief absence in the previous game seems to be resolved, with his active participation in Friday’s shootaround indicating his readiness to resume his role supporting Jakob Poeltl at center.
Dick to G League ?
Raptors Head Coach Darko Rajakovic has revealed a strategy to give rookie Gradey Dick more playing time with the 905 in the upcoming G League schedule.
Dick experienced his first Did Not Play – Coach’s Decision (DNP-CD) in the recent game against Indiana Pacers, prompting the coaching staff to seek opportunities for his development in the G League.
