Make no mistake, there is no good time for an NBA player to get injured, and the Toronto Raptors would far prefer to have OG Anunoby rather than have the rookie miss a few games because of a sprained ankle.
But Anunoby is out and that presents a chance to tinker, and tinker is what coach Dwane Casey will do.
In an effort simply to take a look at a young player with the opportunity upon him, Casey inserted rookie Malcolm Miller into the starting lineup when Toronto beat the Charlotte Hornets 103-98 at the Air Canada Centre on Sunday.
