Khem Birch will start in Anunoby’s place, with Thad Young playing a key role off the bench.
Nurse said Young has picked things up quickly (“you can tell he’s been around”) and will be “vitally important” with OG out. – 5:56 PM

Anunoby went through a full practice on Thursday. Nurse was encouraging to keep shooting, use his left-hand around the basket more if needed. “I think it is probably something he can play through … but he/we need reassurance of that.” – 5:43 PM

No timeline on Anunoby’s finger injury. He is getting a second opinion. Team was hopeful that it would improve over All-Star break and it didn’t. – 5:37 PM

More on this storyline
Josh Lewenberg: Nick Nurse clarifies that Anunoby’s finger had been bothering him for a while. Played through soreness before all-star and they were hoping some rest over the break would help it heal. Got an X-ray yesterday, which revealed the fracture. Will get a 2nd opinion from a specialist. -via Twitter @JLew1050 / February 25, 2022
Michael Grange: Raptors say OG Anunoby is out vs. Charlotte with a fracture of the ring finger on his right (shooting) hand. I’m assuming this happened in practice on Thursday? Fred VanVleet is questionable (knee). Anunoby missed 14 games earlier with a hip flexor he also injured in practice. -via Twitter @michaelgrange / February 25, 2022
Doug Smith: OG info: Was feeling discomfort before the break, didn’t get better, had imaging this week that showed small undisplaced fracture. Will get further exams and treatment now is rest -via Twitter @SmithRaps / February 25, 2022
