Raptors announce 4 more players including OG, VanVleet join COVID-19 protocol

The Toronto Raptors have entered four additional players into the NBA's COVID-19 protocol, the team announced Tuesday evening.

Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, Pat McCaw, and Malachi Flynn will join Pascal Siakam in health and safety protocols, and all five players will miss the Raptors' next game against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. The Raptors will also be without head coach Nick Nurse, and five additional staffers.

The Raptors will be led by assistant coach Sergio Scariolo, who oversaw the Raptors' win over the Houston Rockets last week.

It's unclear how many members of the organization have tested positive, but Michael Grange of Sportsnet reports that there is at least one coach who tested positive last week.
