Toronto Raptors forward Danny Green revealed that he tweaked his ankle in the team's 117-109 overtime win against the Miami Heat.
Green said he will see how his ankle responds in tomorrow's practice, but is optimistic that he won't be missing significant amount of time because of it.
Danny Green told me he tweaked his ankle that was nearly recovered in overtime running into the cameras. Later told scrum he will see how bad it is tomorrow, but he thinks it should be fine. Still, Warriors losing one of the next two games would be nice.

Green finished with 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field, including 5-9 from beyond the arc to go along with three rebounds, two assists and two blocks in the win.
The Raptors improve to 57-24 for the season and will finish as the second best team in the Eastern Conference standings. They still have one game left, which is against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday.
Toronto is expected to make a deep run in the playoffs, and although they are not going to catch the Milwaukee Bucks for the best record in the East, they are still one of the favorites to reach the NBA Finals. Green is expected to play a major role in making that happen.
This season, Danny Green is averaging 10.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists. His numbers may not be that flashy, but he's still one of the most lethal shooters in the league — making 46 percent of his shots, including 45 percent from beyond the arc. He's also one of the Raptors' most capable defenders, and he will certainly be tasked to guard the opposing teams' second and third best players come playoffs.
