O.G. Anunoby missed the Raptors game against the Washington Wizards with a finger laceration.
It was the second game he missed all season.
Anunoby suffered the injury while doing some household chores:
The Raptors will be without Trent and Anunoby vs Washington tonight. Anunoby cut his finger doing household chores yesterday, per the team.

His status against the Milwaukee Bucks does not look promising.
Anunoby was using his left-hand only during practice as he protected the laceration on his right index finger:

According to Sportsnet’s Blake Murphy, Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr. are both listed as doubtful against the Bucks:
OG Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr. are both listed as doubtful for tomorrow.
Koloko out, 2-ways TBD (905 play tonight).
Nothing from Bucks yet.

Trent Jr. is dealing with right foot plantar fasciitis. It has kept him out the last two games.
The Raptors defense struggled against the lowly Wizards without Anunoby. If he is unable to go against the Bucks the Raptors will be in tough. Anunoby has been Toronto’s best defender and he has been having a solid season so far.
He is averaging 16.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists on 51 percent shooting from the field and 39.3 percent shooting from deep. He has constantly held his own defending the other’s team best player.
Anunoby had 16 points in the win the Raptors had against the Bucks on Nov. 1
Otto Porter Jr. got the start in place of Anunoby on Nov. 13 and it is looking like he will be a starter again if Anunoby does not play.
Kristian Koloko update
Someone who has not played yet for the Raptors is big man Christian Koloko.
He remains out with an ongoing respiratory issue. There is no timetable for his return.
