Game Thread: Toronto Raptors at Indiana Pacers

It’s a cold, rainy day here in Toronto, meaning it’s the perfect time to order a pizza, curl up on the couch, and bask in the warm glow of your TV as you stuff your face and watch the Toronto Raptors take on the Indiana Pacers!

The Raptors are looking for their third straight win, and aiming to get above .500 for the first time since February, when they were 16-15. You know what happened next: everyone got COVID and the team dropped 15 of its next 17 games and the tank was on.

The Pacers are 1-5, and trying to get healthy. Caris LeVert will make his season debut tonight, which is exciting news for Pacers fans, but it’s not all roses: Malcolm Brogdon is out with a sore hamstring.

No further injuries for the Raptors, who are still down Yuta Watanabe and Pascal Siakam.

Let’s see if the Raptors can get another win on the road!
