The Raptors will look different for the rest of the 2023-24 NBA season.
After dealing O.G. Anunoby and Pascal Siakam, Toronto made two more deals ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline. The team traded Dennis Schroder, Thaddeus Young, Kira Lewis Jr., Otto Porter Jr. and a 2024 first-round pick for Kelly Olynyk, Ochai Agbaji and Spencer Dinwiddie in two separate deals.
The Raptors have since waived Dinwiddie. (More on that decision here.)
The Raptors are back in action Friday when they face the Rockets, who will be without Fred VanVleet in his return to Toronto because of a left adductor strain.
Will Olynyk and Agbaji be cleared to play? Here’s the latest on their availability.
