The Toronto Raptors are already an incredibly thin team. When fully healthy, their primary rotation has consisted of just eight players. Their starting lineup currently has more minutes than any other five-man rotation in the league. Now, with the injury to Patrick McCaw, they just got a little bit thinner.
McCaw underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove a benign mass on the back of his left knee. There’s no official timetable for his return, and he won’t be re-evaluated for at least another four weeks. The unclear timeline certainly provides a murky picture for the team, and they probably should expect a month-and-a-half to two-months at the absolute minimum.
