MIAMI—DeMarre Carroll, wandering around in embroidered Givenchy flipflops rather than a big old walking boot, proved his sore left ankle isn’t too seriously injured.
While not ready to pronounce himself fit to play when the Toronto Raptors face the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, Carroll was buoyed by the progress he made after suffering the injury Saturday night in Milwaukee.
“I’m taking it day by day but I can walk on it, so that’s a positive,” he said. “(Of) course it’s swollen but, at the same time, I think I got a very high pain tolerance so I think I should be good.
