The Raptors 905 concluded their first road trip of the season the same way they opened their season: with a loss. In fact, the Raptors 905 are winless so far in three games. Talent may be an issue, but having actual bodies definitely is: the team is struggling to dress the minimum number of players per game.
Due to injuries to Serge Ibaka and OG Anunoby, Dewan Hernandez (both games) and Oshae Brissett (vs the Maine Red Claws) were pulled from this road trip to provide some healthy bodies for Nick Nurse during the big club’s West coast road trip.
