Greetings. I did not make the trip to Toronto. Travel too much to get there. Anyway, Nets-Raptors round two tips shortly. No Drummond, but Cam Thomas is playing. Let’s see how this goes. – 7:37 PM

Standing O for Fred VanVleet, who’s introduced as an all-star for the first time in front of a full(ish) home crowd. He’s inactive tonight but his kids just presented him with an all-star jersey at halfcourt. – 7:36 PM

Slow arriving crowd but I’m told the Raptors are expecting something close to a sellout tonight. First game with more than a few hundred people at Scotiabank Arena since Dec. 28 and first game at more than half capacity since Dec. 13 pic.twitter.com/zFARHLnm4B – 7:30 PM

Nurse as clear as he has been on L’Affaire Dragic: “I think the biggest characterization of it all is we probably wanted to focus on our younger guys.” With that in mind, obviously there was less incentive to keep him around. – 6:25 PM

The hand specialist Anunoby saw in LA yesterday said his fractured finger is healing and should be fully healed within the next 2 weeks. He could be back sooner though. The team is trying to determine whether he’s able to play through the injury. He’s still experiencing pain. – 5:55 PM

“There’s a slight fracture … he’s been playing with it for quite sometime.” – Nurse on OG. He is out for game vs. Nets. Says he could return to play, but could fully heal in two weeks, so might wait for that. It’s all under discussion. – 5:51 PM

Update on OG Anunoby is “nothing new. Nothing we didn’t already know.” The specialist thought it was nearly healed. He’s able to play on it and he’ll be fully healthy in 2 weeks. Status is still TBD. He’s out tonight – 5:50 PM
