The Toronto Raptors have been fortunate on the injury front to date this season. While the injury to Jared Sullinger was disappointing, when it occurred there hadn’t been a huge investment made in structuring offensive and defensive schemes involving him. Delon Wright’s shoulder issue was irksome for him, but not a serious blow for the team as he was #3 on the depth chart for point guards.
However, Patrick Patterson has a problem. He left the Phoenix game in Q2 and didn’t return after his left knee appeared to buckle. Fortunately there was no contact, so whatever hyperextension occurred was likely mild.
