OG Anunoby Articles - Page 8

OG Anunoby did not do much to dispel the recent trade rumors that have linked him to a looming move away from the Toronto Raptors. While he did deny the validity of the said rumors, all he said was that, “no, it is what it is,” which doesn’t exactly inspire confidence for Raptors fans who […]

The Toronto Raptors have undoubtedly been one of the NBA’s most disappointing teams this season. Despite coming into the 2022-23 campaign with playoff expectations, the Raptors currently own a 23-28 record, just the 12th-best in the Eastern Conference. Toronto wouldn’t even qualify for the play-in tournament if the regular season ended today. Because of all […]

The NBA trade deadline is less than two weeks away, and it seems like we could be entering an extremely chaotic deadline across the league. There aren’t many teams that are really out of playoff contention right now, which may encourage teams to be aggressive in pulling off deals. There are many players who are […]

The interest in Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby is seemingly growing as the NBA trade deadline gets nearer. Apart from the New York Knicks, another potential suitor for Anunoby has come out to the surface in the form of the Phoenix Suns (h/t Shams Charania of The Athletic). “The Knicks and Suns are among the […]

The Toronto Raptors face the Portland Trail Blazers Saturday night on the second leg of a tough back-to-back. Nick Nurse’s team fell to the Golden State Warriors 129-117 in San Francisco on Friday, losing touch with the defending champions midway through the fourth quarter. OG Anunoby left the Raptors’ loss early in the second quarter […]

Toronto Raptors swingman OG Anunoby was forced to exit Friday’s game against the Golden State Warriors due to wrist injury and didn’t return. Anunoby sustained the injury early in the second quarter of what ended a 129-117 defeat for the Raptors. As he attacked the basket past Jordan Poole, Anunoby fell awkwardly and landed hard […]

There’s recently been a lot of buzz surrounding OG Anunoby and what now appears to be his looming departure from the Toronto Raptors. The 25-year-old himself seems to have already made it clear that he wants out of Toronto, which has sounded the alarm for a handful of opposing teams around the league. At this […]

It’s not quite clear yet what the Toronto Raptors would decide to do with the NBA trade deadline approaching. But with a 22-27 record, the expectation that the Raptors would sell remains. And if that happens, the Raptors may not have a more attainable and enticing trade asset than 3 and D wing OG Anunoby. […]

Toronto Raptors wing OG Anunoby wants to be traded, according to longtime Toronto radio personality Bob McCowan (h/t Esfandiar Baraheni of SDPN Sports). Just heard this on the Bob McCowan podcast: “I talked to an NBA insider yesterday, this is a guy I’ve known for a few years, he tells me… Anunoby wants out of […]

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby is good to go for Wednesday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, according to a Tuesday tweet from Raptors NBA Beat Reporter Josh Lewenberg. The MRI the Raptors were awaiting the results of came back clean. “He told me he’s 94%,” Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said. OG Anunoby was ruled […]

The Sacramento Kings received a ton of flak for trading away Tyrese Haliburton in exchange for Domantas Sabonis. Sure, Haliburton and De’Aaron Fox didn’t have the most seamless fit in the Kings backcourt. But players with Haliburton’s potential usually don’t get traded while they’re still on their rookie scale contract. However, it’s clear that the […]

One of the most prominent teams to watch out for with the trade deadline coming up in around two weeks’ time is the Toronto Raptors. Armed with a slew of pieces that could help contending teams in Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, Fred VanVleet, and Gary Trent Jr., what the Raptors end up doing will dictate […]

The New York Knicks currently have a 25-23 record thanks in large part to a strong December effort that saw them win eight games in a row. It’s evident that the Knicks possess enough pieces in place to at least make the postseason. Jalen Brunson, signed to a four-year, $104 million deal in the offseason, […]

At first glance, the Toronto Raptors look like they have all the makings of a team that thrives in today’s NBA. Armed with a plethora of switchable wings with considerable skill, they look like a team that could make the lives of their opponents a living hell on both ends of the floor, capable of […]

The Toronto Raptors are looking to get back on track as they face the New York Knicks on Sunday. Unfortunately, they are dealing with some key injuries as they continue to struggle. On the official NBA injury report, O.G. Anunoby and Fred VanVleet were both listed as questionable due to right ankle soreness and right […]

Saturday’s marquee matchup between the Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors produced a handful of worrying injuries for both teams. Marcus Smart and Robert Williams exited the game in the first half with respective injuries, and now, it’s the Raptors who were bitten by the injury bug after OG Anunoby was forced to sit out […]

The Toronto Raptors may be one of the most promising teams in the NBA, with an intriguing cast of characters that pride themselves on their length and defensive ability. Nonetheless, the 11th-seed Raptors do have kinks to work out in their rotation. Namely, a number of promising players who desire a larger offensive role and […]

The Toronto Raptors have played well as of late. However, they are still in the midst of an underwhelming 2022-2023 campaign. As a result, the Raptors may opt to trade stars such as OG Anunoby. But acquiring Anunoby is expected to come at an expensive cost, per Yahoo Sports’ Jake Fischer. “Raptors officials have left […]

As the 2023 NBA trade deadline on February 9 quickly approaches, the Indiana Pacers have some decisions to make. The biggest question mark for the franchise is, are they buyers or are they sellers? If they’re sellers, the Pacers’ trade deadline strategy has to include Myles Turner heading out first, as he has the most […]

The Toronto Raptors’ wacky roster construction appears to be catching up to them. With a lack of a true center and an obvious lack of backcourt depth, the Raptors have struggled this season despite having All-Star caliber talents in Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and OG Anunoby. Through 41 games, the Raptors have won just 18 […]

The Toronto Raptors aren’t a very good team right now. They aren’t exactly out of the playoff race out in the East, but there’s no denying that this team has failed to live up to the expectations most folks had on them entering the season — at least not yet. It seems that there is […]

Nearly halfway through the 2022-23 campaign, the Toronto Raptors find themselves in basketball purgatory. The team currently owns a 16-21 record, good enough for the 12th-best in the Eastern Conference. In layman’s terms, Toronto isn’t good enough to compete for a playoff spot but isn’t bad enough to have a legit shot at landing Victor […]

The trade possibilities keep coming in as the Toronto Raptors’ season continues to falter. The majority of these scenarios center on 6’7 forward OG Anunoby. Recall that he was selected by the Raptors with the 23rd overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. Here we will look at the four best trade destinations for Raptors […]

The Toronto Raptors are in a downward spiral this season, which has many teams eyeing them for possible trades at the deadline in February. One Raptors player garnering a ton of interest is OG Anunoby, but it appears he’s not their most coveted trade candidate. That’s actually sharpshooter Gary Trent Jr, according to numerous NBA […]

It should go without saying that there are no more coveted assets in the NBA than a bonafide superstar, a player talented enough to change the course of a franchise. Just this past offseason, Donovan Mitchell (and Rudy Gobert) brought back massive returns for the Utah Jazz. However, after them, 3 and D wings who […]

The New York Knicks are currently in the midst of a remarkable turnaround. Led by Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson, the Knicks have won seven straight games, a surge that has brought them to sixth in the East. The Knicks may be rolling at the moment, but it was only two weeks ago when their […]

Toronto Raptors forward O.G. Anunoby has missed the last four games with a hip injury — not coincidentally, the Raptors lost all of them. The team is reeling at this juncture, so when Toronto takes the court in Philadelphia to play the 76ers on Monday night, every Raptors fan will want to know: Is O.G. […]

What is going on with this Toronto Raptors team? Heading into the 2022 season, many expected the Raptors to be somewhat active in the trade market to try and make a playoff push. The core of Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and Scottie Barnes looked like a solid blueprint. They were supposed to build off of […]

Toronto Raptors forward O.G. Anunoby played in the team’s first 26 games before missing Sunday’s outing against the Orlando Magic with a hip injury. And a recent update on Anunoby’s injury status indicates that he is set to miss a few more upcoming games.  According to Eric Koreen, a Raptors writer for The Athletic, Anunoby will […]

In a season during which the Toronto Raptors have been hit hard with the injury bug and struggled to find any consistency, the one player that has been their constant is OG Anunoby. However, it appears as if the struggling Raptors might be without their iron man for Sunday’s game against the Orlando Magic as […]

The Toronto Raptors have endured a plethora of injury woes to begin the 2022-23 campaign. While Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and Scottie Barnes have all missed considerable time due to injuries, OG Anunoby has remained a constant for the Raptors. Anunoby has played in all 24 games, averaging career-highs in points, rebounds, and steals per […]

With the Toronto Raptors dealing with a slew of injuries at the moment, certain players have been required to step up to the plate. One of them is OG Anunoby and the 25-year-old has responded in a major way. Anunoby had another noteworthy performance on Saturday night as he helped the Raptors to a 105-100 […]

The Toronto Raptors have been struck hard by the injury bug this season, but one player in particular who has managed to avoid any serious injuries this year is OG Anunoby. Before Anunoby’s Raptors were set to take on the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday, Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd heaped some heavy praise on Anunoby […]

The Toronto Raptors are hosting the Brooklyn Nets Wednesday night, and they’re not being too nice to the visitors. In fact, Raptors forward OG Anunoby just served Kevin Durant a facial, putting the future Hall of Famer on a poster with this fastbreak dunk with less than a minute remaining in the first half. https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1595592534515908608 […]

Even without the services of All-Star guard Fred VanVleet who missed the game due to back issues, the Toronto Raptors blew out a team with playoff aspirations in the Atlanta Hawks, thanks in no small part to Pascal Siakam’s 31 point, 12 rebound performance, as well as Scottie Barnes’ all-around contributions. However, it might be […]

The NBA training camps are here, so teams should be taking looks before making any final decisions on the rotation or roster spots. The regular season starts in about three weeks. That means some Toronto Raptors players might have their last chances to crack the rotation or show they belong on the team. The Raptors […]

The New York Knicks are gunning for Donovan Mitchell. That’s not a secret at this point: they are looking to bring their hometown hero back to his city. However, as of the moment, they haven’t reached an agreement with the Utah Jazz yet. With the Jazz not in a rush to trade Mitchell, New York […]

The 2022 offseason could be the start of something special for the Orlando Magic. It’s cause for celebration any time you have a number one overall pick and add perhaps the best player in the draft. With Paolo Banchero joining the team — and Mo Bamba and Gary Harris re-signing in NBA free agency — […]

The Orlando Magic once again missed out on the postseason. It is one more disappointing year for the organization as they seek to come back to the top of the NBA. The entire rebuild is now effectively taking the Magic 10+ years, so they need to get their things in order very soon. Now, they […]
