In the final of a four game road trip, a still-depleted Toronto Raptors team faced the 11-53 Detroit Pistons. Luckily for the Raps, Immanuel Quickley returned for this matchup in the absence of RJ. Unluckily for the Raps, their woes against Detroit continued, falling by 9 points.
It’s hard not to be frustrated with the outcome of this game, but the reality of the Raptors’ current situation shouldn’t be lost on anyone. They’re missing 4 of their 5 regular starters, part of their bench, and they’ve just been on a week-long road trip from one end of the country to the other.
