The Toronto Raptors are reportedly not considering trade offers involving guard/forward OG Anunoby at this time. Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports that "the Raptors are not seriously listening to offers for OG Anunoby right now". With franchise cornerstone Pascal Siakam's Toronto future uncertain and Fred VanVleet departing this offseason, Anunoby's standing with the team still seems fairly secure currently. The 26-year-old represents one of the NBA's best "3-and-D" swingmen, notching 16.8 points on 47.6% field-goal shooting, 5.0 rebounds, 2.1 threes, and a league-leading 1.9 steals in 35.6 minutes per game over 67 contests last season.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby could potentially be on the move this offseason. It was recently reported that the Sacramento Kings were showing interest in Anunoby. However, Marc Stein has reported that the Raptors are reluctant to move on from the 25-year-old forward. It sounds like the organization would need to be blown away in a trade to give up Anunoby. The Raptors don't exactly have much incentive to trade Anunoby right now. He continues to perform at a high level and is under contract for the next two seasons. It's still early in the offseason, but it doesn't sound like the Raptors are interested in moving Anunoby right now.

According to Damien Barling of ESPN 1320 in Sacramento, the Sacramento Kings are "aggressively pursuing" Toronto's OG Anunoby. The team is considering the future of free agent Harrison Barnes and Anunoby would be a very good replacement, even an upgrade on the position. The 25-year-old made it into the All-Defensive Second Team this season after averaging a career-high 1.9 steals per game, and he averaged 16.8 points with 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists. Anunoby has two years remaining on his contract with the final season being a player option.

Toronto Raptors guard OG Anunoby (ankle) has been made available for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Anunoby was listed as questionable with an ankle sprain which he likely picked up in Sunday's game. However, the injury will not force him to miss any time. With Gary Trent Jr. (back) likely out again, Anunoby should look to continue his recent success.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The 25-year-old left early during Sunday's game due to a mild ankle sprain. Head coach Nick Nurse said that Anunoby being listed as questionable is a positive sign for the Raptors. The team is also hopeful that Gary Trent Jr. (back) makes his return to the court on Tuesday. He has missed the last six games due to back spasms. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday for another update on Anunoby and Trent.

On Tuesday, the Charlotte Hornets made it official when they shut down their star guard LaMelo Ball for the remainder of the 2022-2023 NBA season.Many fantasy managers' worst fears were realized when Ball's non-contact injury in Monday night's game against Detroit turned out to be a fractured ankle. Charlotte's season was already lost, but fantasy managers were hoping to get a few more weeks from Ball who, when healthy, was putting up huge numbers this season.To keep close tabs on all of the news across the NBA, make sure to favorite or bookmark the RotoBaller Fantasy Basketball Newspage, or download the free RotoBaller fantasy basketball mobile app with push notification alerts on all the latest news.

LeBron James Injury Update

James injured his right foot during the third quarter of Sunday's comeback win over the Dallas Mavericks. It was a tense few seconds after the multi-time MVP clutched his foot after suffering what was deemed a "non-contact injury." The concern grew to greater heights after he was overheard saying, "I heard a pop." Situations like this are never good, as many were concerned that an Achilles tear could be the culprit.https://twitter.com/FanDuelTV/status/1630602449227595777?s=20Yet, after James gathered himself, he tightened his shoe and finished the game, totaling 26 points, eight rebounds, one block, and one steal. Head coach Darvin Ham appeared optimistic while speaking postgame, stating the 38-year-old was "good."However, that couldn't be further from the case, with The Athletic's Shams Charania reporting that James would "miss an extended period of time" because of the foot injury. Charania later added that the all-time scoring leader would "require multiple opinions."https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1630363560051187712?s=20

While his three-point percentage has regressed, that's never been his strong suit.James was also named an All-Star captain while recently passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all-time scoring leader.https://twitter.com/NBAonTNT/status/1623184801284104192?s=20That said, despite some high-level accomplishments, the year has been a rough one for the 2003 No. 1 overall pick. He's battled left foot soreness for nearly the entire season, so much so that he routinely carried some type of injury designation heading into almost all of his games over the last few months....

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (wrist) is available for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This is great news as Anunoby will take the court for the first time since January 27th. Fellow forward Thaddeus Young (knee) is also available, so this team appears full healthy for the first time since acquiring Jakob Poeltl. It'll be interesting to see what kind of starting five head coach Nick Nurse puts together on Thursday. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for more information on that. However, Anunoby should have solid fantasy value regardless.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (wrist) hasn't seen the court since January 27 when he injured his wrist and only played 10 minutes during that contest. After missing nine games, the extended break looks like it worked in his favor as head coach Nick Nurse says he looks healthy and ready to go. He'll be a much-needed boost to a short-handed Raptors team that is looking to make a playoff push in the final stretch of the season. He should be back in all fantasy rosters as it doesn't sound like there will be any minute restriction.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (wrist) is out again for Sunday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. He'll now miss his eighth consecutive game because of a sprained left wrist, and he remains without a definitive return date. Nevertheless, Precious Achiuwa, who's averaged 13.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in nine starts this year, should continue to take Anunoby's place in the rotation.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (wrist) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since January 27 due to a sprained left wrist. It appears he's going to miss at least one more game, but could very well be sidelined until after the All-Star break. Precious Achiuwa has been starting in the absence of Anunoby. However, it's worth noting that center Jakob Poeltl was acquired by the team on Thursday. He should be considered questionable for Friday's game, so his presence could hurt the fantasy value of Achiuwa.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (wrist) has been showing some progress toward returning to the floor as he resumed light on-court work but is still ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. Anunoby hasn't returned to the floor since exiting a loss to the Warriors on January 27 due to a sprained left wrist. The team doesn't seem in a rush to get him back as he's rumored to be part of multiple trade talks with other teams. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for any updates, especially leading up to the trade deadline.

Kyrie Irving's Season Recap

Irving got suspended for an antisemitic social media post, keeping him out of the lineup for eight games. But since then, the 30-year-old stayed out of the limelight, so most had assumed he finally turned things around. He's played well all season, averaging 27.1 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 40 appearances.https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1622324668047794177?s=20&t=NTffJ2tRvNpjAA7bddjYHQHe was also selected to the All-Star team for the eighth time in his career.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (wrist) didn't play in Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 25-year-old took an ugly fall during the loss to the Golden State Warriors on Friday and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Fortunately, X-rays were negative. However, the team is still awaiting the results of a recent MRI. It's possible Anunoby will miss some games moving ahead. If that's the case, Precious Achiuwa, who had 27 points, 13 rebounds, two steals, and a block versus Portland, should continue to benefit.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (arm) was injured during Friday's meeting with the Warriors. The 25-year-old took a hard foul from JaMychal Green in the second quarter and landed on his left arm. It's unknown if he's dealing with a shoulder or wrist injury, although he did head toward the locker room after his free throw attempts. With that said, Anunoby likely won't be back for the remainder of the contest, meaning Juancho Hernangomez and Thaddeus Young could be on the floor more than usual.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The 25-year-old has been dealing with an ankle issue that caused him to miss Sunday's game. However, it appears he's feeling better and will rejoin the starting five on Wednesday. It doesn't sound like the team plans to limit him, so he'll likely have his normal workload. Precious Achiuwa will head back to the bench and won't have as great of streaming appeal anymore.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. This doesn't come as a surprise after Anunoby injured his ankle during Saturday's game. The Raptors are going to take the cautious approach and have Anunoby sit this one out. In his absence, Precious Achiuwa should move into the starting five on Sunday. He finished with a double-double during Saturday's game. That being said, Achiuwa appears to be worth streaming while Anunoby is sidelined.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Knicks. The 25-year-old injured his right ankle in the loss to Boston on Saturday, ending his night after only 21 minutes of work. Fred VanVleet (ribs) is also questionable, so Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes, and Gary Trent Jr. could be tasked with handling the majority of the offensive duties. At the same time, Precious Achiuwa, who had a double-double versus the Celtics, and Thaddeus Young could remain more involved. However, Achiuwa is the better fantasy option between the pair.

Marcus Smart Injury Update

The Celtics were without Jayson Tatum for Saturday's meeting with Toronto, as the MVP candidate got the day off to deal with wrist soreness. Luckily, the C's recently got Jaylen Brown back from a three-game layoff, so the team at least had its No. 2 scoring option. Boston also had Marcus Smart, who is proficient on both ends of the floor.Unfortunately, the reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year's evening didn't last long, as he exited in the first half after suffering a sprained right ankle. Smart has battled ankle injuries throughout his career, so fantasy managers are familiar with this.https://twitter.com/ChrisForsberg_/status/1616933981362028546?s=20&t=ADA6dM_t2muMcgq6cJRitwWhile X-ray results were encouraging, revealing no structural damage, he'll likely miss a game or two, possibly more.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (ankle) didn't return to Saturday's loss to the Boston Celtics. He suffered an ankle injury in the third quarter, finishing with 12 points in 21 minutes of action. Thaddeus Young came in for relief, logging 24 minutes and accruing eight points, three boards, and two steals.
