Raptors replacements ready to take on Sixers: Preview, start time, and more

The COVID-ravaged Raptors are forced to play another meaningless game again because the NBA commissioner said so. The NBA is not planning to cancel any games unless the entire team is unavailable. Because of that decision, the Raptors are again expected to put their best foot forward with a ragtag crew consisting of four bench players and four replacement players. Most call-ups were just to add bodies to get the minimum roster requirements to play the game. The Raptors need these replacements to be a big part of their rotation. How ridiculous is that! Hopefully, this time, they can put a better product tonight.
