VanVleet had five points, five assists, a steal and three rebounds in final frame while Precious Achiuwa put up 27 points and 13 rebounds in Portland.
There is no indication how long Anunoby will be out — head coach Nick Nurse said before the game the Raptors were waiting for complete MRI results and a prognosis on his sprained left wrist — but Achiuwa will fill the spot in the starting lineup as long as it exists.“They’re gonna bring another 6-8, long, physical guy into the game,” Portland coach Chauncey Billups said. “They won’t change at all. Obviously O.G. is a big, big piece.
“Offensively, O.G. and Precious are fairly similar, just O.G.’s so much more experienced, with so much more reps, with so much more catch and shoot in his game.” But Achiuwa provides another interior scorer and he was able to exploit Portland’s lack of size most of Saturday.out due to a calf injury, Achiuwa was able to plant himself along the baseline and beat the Blazers with his quickness and size.
He had 16 points and 10 rebounds in Toronto’s blistering 63-point first half and opened all kinds of new opportunities for Toronto’s offence.
