Chris Boucher SERIOUS Injury… – RJ Barrett Speaks Out on Performance | Toronto Raptors News

We have a serious injury update for Chris buet as it looks like his knee injury could keep him out for the rest of the season so we’ll discuss that including RJ Barrett speaking out after his big performance against the Denver Nuggets a former recent Toronto Raptor

Retiring and a look at this year’s tank ofon here now at this point because the Raptors are in a tight race but before we dive into that again over 55% of our viewers are not subscribe to the channel and we want to keep you up to date with

All of the latest Toronto Raptors news so make sure if you want to stay up to date with this team because should be a fun close to the season I know a lot not a lot of people are watching the games now at this point but if you want to

Keep up to what’s going on regarding the Toronto Raptors make sure you guys hit that subscribe button but let’s dive into the news let’s dive into what’s been going on and the first one is unfortunate because Chris buet seems like he has a serious injury according

To reports now following uh the game uh that came two nights ago against the Portland Trailblazers Chris bue you know made a heroic sort of finish and ended up injuring himself you know in that game saving play you know down to close out that game and get a p on the

Trailblazers so we weren’t sure what the injury was how bad it was going to be what’s going on but we did hear that further tests are coming and basically the details are now mostly out regarding Chris buet essentially he sustained a partial tear to the medoc collateral

Ligaments of the MCL in his right knee and on his game time bucket at the end of regulation in Saturday’s overtime loss in Portland he’ll undergo further assessment by specialists Toronto Raptors Reports say so basically a partial tear in his MCL and someone that has partially tar their MCL along with

My ACL meniscus and all that type of stuff that is a serious injury that sucks hopefully he’s able to sort of recover quickly and be fine and you know partial tears generally you don’t necessarily need surgery you know there’s different ways to approach it there’s different ways to really see how

It goes and basically more reports further updates have come out saying that bu has told Michael gra that his right knee wasn’t right when he woke up Sunday morning and felt loose to him and as someone that has torn his ACL his left knee seven years ago you know he uh

He knows he’s experienced with knee injuries basically he thought it was just bruised after he got tangled up with Trailblazers matis thyo bue made the game tying tip in in less than second left in regulation but further examination showed a tear although the good news is that surgery will not be

Required still it’s hard to imagine bue returning this season with just 17 games left he’ll join purle and burns the r third potentially season injury ending injury suffered this month so basically good news that uh bé doesn’t need surgery according to right now again partial tears it’s sometimes the right

Move to have surgery it sometimes isn’t again I’m not a doctor but I have had serious knee injuries before so I kind of know this space and again you want to avoid surgery when you can but if it’s going to fix things up it’ll probably increase recovery time but obviously the

The body can heal itself if it’s just a partially tear torn thing there so good news along those lines but bad news that he’s likely out for the rest of the season and sucks because the end of this season was really the time for Chris buet to redeem his value after not being

In the lineup not being in the rotation for a very long time and he was putting up some big games having some big moments proving why he’s a hustle energy player that can get some buckets the things that he was doing for years for the Toronto Raptors reestablish that

Reaffirm that so teams are interested him in the offseason for the Raptor sake and for his own because you know I don’t want him to be a guy just buried on the bench during the prime of his career here now at this point so hopefully he has a speedy recovery again regardless

Of it’s partially torn fully torn whatever you know if you’re tearing your MCL that just sucks it’s a serious injury so I don’t want the Raptors to rush him back I hope he doesn’t do anything crazy you know trying to redeem his value and get back during the Raptor

Kind of hopeless stretch to end out this year but again wishing the best for Chris buet but next thing we’re taking a look at is RJ Barrett reveals truth on his uh on his performance last night because as we saw from the reports going into last night’s game against the

Denver Nuggets RJ Barrett was sick and he said it to darkar rakovic basically you know he said you know but unfortunately the Raptors couldn’t keep it going and the Raptor who hit the floor BL all heads basically the quotes there at the end I gave you everything I

Had to coach Darko rakovic when he later saw him moving slowly down the hall the ball arita You know despite being under the weather basically went on to say it’s obviously a great first half of the Toronto Raptors everyone was into it and we knew the second half that they were

Going to be more aggressive and I think they just showed their Championship pedigree with the way that they responded so again RJ Barrett happy with this performance he left it all out there on the line and I don’t know I I made a video this morning really gassing

Up RJ Barrett I’m sad I missed this quote so I just wanted to toss it into this video because you know he put up that big night that big performance against the League’s best team you know while under the weather giving it all he had as he said to darkar rovic in big

Minutes all the Raptors are depleted you love seeing in that from RJ Barrett out there the Raptor’s current number one star you know was Scotty barns out of the lineup but next thing we’re taking a look at is a recent former Toronto Raptor ended up retiring pretty

Surprisingly because Auto Porter Jr is a guy that obviously was highly hyped a lot of people were extremely excited including myself when he was brought into the Toronto Raptors after winning a championship with the Golden State Warriors just a season ago right not this offseason but the offseason prior

Again barely played last year but there was hope that maybe okay a year rest you know guys de with some injuries maybe he could come into this year again the Raptor still at OG still at Pascal you know still some vets on this team with hopes of winning some games Auto Porter

Jr could be an asset Off the Bench and then he played in some games he was in the lineup he was out the lineup but from everything we heard you know from Otto’s Camp you know and stuff basically we heard that UT Porter Jr was healthy

And ready to go he was ready to play so it was weird and there was criticism thrown the way of dark rakovich in terms of why Auto Porter Jr wasn’t playing especially when the Raptors werey trying to compete well I guess those uh that postering that came out wasn’t uh true

Is basically Auto Porter Jr has announced his retirement today you know obviously he was traded to the Utah Jazz at this year’s trade deadline saying that for the past 11 years I’ve had the chance to live my lifelong dream of playing in the NBA and that dream was

Capped by winning an NBA championship unfortunately my body is not allowing me to play at the level I expect of myself and I have therefore decided to retire so again sucks for a guy that you know was a two-way guy the play defense was really good for that Golden State

Warrior season where he won an NBA championship so it uh it sucks that he has to retire early due to injuries due to everything that’s been going on but I’m surprised by it because when he was uh traded to the Utah Jazz every report that came out indicated Auto Porter Jr

Is healthy and ready to play so again maybe he’s just disappointed with his level of production rather than his ability to produce and all those types of things but I don’t know just a little bit surprising caught me off guard that he ended up end up retiring but I guess

Maybe the writing was on the wall when he wasn’t bought out prior to the deadline in order for him to be picked up by a playoff eligible team so Auto bter Jr wishing you the best in retirement even though you’re tenure with the Toronto Raptors wasn’t great

You know it’s uh seemed like a good locker room guy so always we’ll have respect for auto Porter Jr last thing we’re taking a look at is a little Toronto Raptor tank ofon update because the Memphis Grizzlies are doing their thing out here jiren Jackson Jr they

Sitting him not sure what the plan is with Desmond Bane but as everyone knows the Raptors are trying to pursue you know some jayen McDaniels minutes with some you know interesting lineup changes and obviously with all the injuries that aren’t controlled by the Toronto Raptors they’re trying to get that uh that their

Pick their draft pick for this season and right now there’s a couple updates basically the Toronto Raptors again we’re separating ourselves from the Brooklyn Nets in terms of getting to the bottom of the standings the Pacers are also a team that uh it’s going to be

Tough for the Bulls to catch them but the Miami Heat are a squad that potentially jump on they they’re eighth then you know if Miami has home court that will be a tough game for the Pacers to win and then it’s one game for them to potentially enter the lottery so that

Pacers draft pick that we have is uh definitely still valuable but the the Memphis Grizzlies are the team that we’re trying to catch out there in the tank ofon standings and they’ve benched jiren Jackson Jr as of late which might be tough but the Raptors on four-game

Losing streak now uh we’ll see we’ll see if we’re able to catch either the the Grizzlies or the the Portland Trail Blazers again a game back of the Grizzlies in terms of losing games to get to that six uh that sixth pick which would increase our odds of maintaining

Our draft pick and then also the Portland Trailblazers who you know currently are they’ve lost one game after beating the Toronto Raptors it’s going to be tough for unless Delo Banton completely changes the tune there the Raptors continue lose games four and a half games back at the Portland

Trailblazer so that’s your daily tank Thon update but folks you guys have best been this far subscribe to the channel if you guys haven’t already I’m signing out cheers
