Mike Trudell: Raptors coach Nick Nurse on Danny Green: “Danny was a real glue guy for us. Tremendous leadership. Just a real winner … he had a championship under his belt. He was a super individual, and super enjoyable to coach … he’s awesome.” Added that Green’s 45% from 3 didnt hurt.
Kyle Lowry suffered a small fracture in his left thumb and Serge Ibaka suffered a “pretty bad” sprained ankle, coach Nick Nurse said after Friday’s 122-104 win over the Pelicans. Lowry is set to see a hand specialist when the team travels to Los Angeles on Saturday.
“It felt weird from the rip,” Lowry said. “I kept playing through it and kept playing through it. Originally we thought it was something in the nailbed because the nailbed turned black and blue. We got some X-rays and we sent the X-rays off to the doctors and there was a small fracture in the thumb.”
Josh Lewenberg: Nick Nurse with some strong words on Pascal Siakam’s early-season foul trouble: “He hasn’t been very smart, if you want me to be honest with you. Most of those have been fouls and they’re touch fouls… He needs to knock it off.”
