The Toronto Raptors have been hit with another injury.
Gradey Dick will be sidelined after suffering a calf strain in the fourth quarter on Sunday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has been ruled out for tonight’s game against the Detroit Pistons, the Raptors announced.
With Dick sidelined, the Raptors have recalled Ja’Kobe Walter from Raptors 905.
With Dick out, the Raptors will likely put Davion Mitchell back into the starting lineup. He will be alongside Ochai Agbaji, RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl.
The Raptors will continue to be without Bruce Brown (knee), Kelly Olynyk (back), Immanuel Quickley (elbow), DJ Carton ankle) and Bruno Fernando (ankle).
It’s unknown how much time Dick will miss with his injury. After tonight, the Raptors will play next on Nov. 27 against the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Pistons have listed Cade Cunningham as doubtful with a pelvic injury and Bobi Klintman continues to be out with a right calf injury.
