Raptors take on LeBron and the Lakers: Preview, start time, and more

As was reported Saturday afternoon, Kyle Lowry will miss at least two weeks after fracturing his left thumb in Friday night’s contest in New Orleans. And some fear Serge Ibaka’s “severely sprained ankle” could cause him to miss even more time than that. It’s a severe blow to the Raptors’ ability to win games, as the two are arguably of the top three players on the team.

With the Raptors already conspicuously thin at point guard already, and even more so at centre, Nick Nurse will have to rely more on Terence Davis, Chris Boucher, and Matt Thomas to fill the minutes up with quality basketball.
