The Raptors lost to Leonard and the Clippers by a final score of 98-88. Toronto is now 7-3 on the season.
In 10 games this season for the Raptors, Anunoby is averaging 11.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. He's shooting 55.4 percent from the field, 52.8 percent from beyond the arc and 60.0 percent from the free-throw line.
Anunoby joins point guard Kyle Lowry and big man Serge Ibaka on the Raptors' injury list. Lowry will miss at least two weeks with a fractured left thumb, while Ibaka is out indefinitely due to a sprained right ankle.
Anunoby just can't seem to catch a break. He played in 67 games during the regular season in 2018-19 but missed the entire 2019 playoffs as a result of undergoing an emergency appendectomy.
The Raptors are expecting big things from Anunoby this season. He has a big role on offense now that Leonard is gone. Hopefully, the swingman is back sooner rather than later.
