Even when you get good news in the NBA, you try to temper your expectations.
When OG Anunoby got the all-clear from the Raptors’ medical staff on Tuesday night, Nick Nurse tried to keep things in perspective.
His star forward and his top defender had missed the last 10 games due to a calf strain. There would be a 25-minute limit on Anunoby and even within that allotted time, you have to wonder how much of an impact a player can have in their first game back.
Any concerns or limitations fell by the wayside as Anunoby played a key part in the Raptors’ impressive 124-113 win in Milwaukee over the Bucks.
