Visiting specialist Monday Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said Anunoby (finger) will visit a hand specialist Monday, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports. Impact The meeting with the specialist should shed light on a potential recovery timeline for Anunoby, who missed the Raptors' back-to-back blowout loss Friday and Saturday to the Hornets and Hawks, respectively, due to a non-displaced fracture of his right ring finger. Even if Anunoby is able to avoid surgery -- which would require a lengthier recovery timeline -- injuries of this sort have typically kept players sidelined for at least two weeks, so fantasy managers shouldn't count on the 24-year-old being available at any point during Toronto's upcoming five-game week. Khem Birch, Thaddeus Young, Precious Achiuwa and Chris Boucher are all expected to notice slight bumps in playing time while Anunoby is out of commission.
