During Friday’s match against the Chicago Bulls, OG Anunoby of the Toronto Raptors had to exit due to a muscle cramp.
As he exited the game, he appeared to be limping as he made his way to the locker room.
Status alert: OG Anunoby (cramping) won’t return Friday.

Regarding the gravity of the injury, the team has not issued any official statements or updates.
Typically, muscle cramps can take several hours to a few days to fully recover, but the timeline can differ from one person to another.
The 26-year-old managed to score 11 points and secure three rebounds during his 28 minutes on the court before the incident.
In their season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Anunoby shone with 20 points, contributing to the Raptors’ 97-94 victory on Wednesday night.
The Raptors will take on the Philadelphia Sixers at home on Saturday, aiming to bounce back with a victory after a close defeat to the Chicago Bulls on Friday night.
