What were the odds we would be here right now with the Raptors? Think about it. Was it possible to predict the injuries to Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka — in the same game no less! — while the team was out west on a five-game trip? How about what happened to Pat McCaw prior to that? And let’s not forget OG Anunoby, gouged in the face but thankfully returning tonight in Dallas to resume his awesome campaign. There have been a lot of injuries in a short period of time.
For a Toronto team acknowledged as having a thin roster, as being particularly at-risk to exposure from injury, this all should have been the death knell.
