Otto Porter Jr. Hopes To Play In Preseason
7 months agoToronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said guard/forward Otto Porter Jr. (toe) participated in the 3-on-3 part of Wednesday's practice and is optimistic he will play at some point this preseason. Porter missed Sunday's preseason opener versus the Sacramento Kings as he works his way back from January's foot surgery for a dislocated toe, but he doesn't seem to be very far off from coming back. The 30-year-old three-and-D swingman does not appear to be dealing with a different setback at this interval. The Cairns Taipans will pay a visit to Toronto's Scotiabank Arena for an exhibition on Sunday, which marks the oft-injured Porter's next date for a possible return to the court. In the meantime, expect Chris Boucher, Jalen McDaniels, and Thaddeus Young to pick up the slack in the Raptors' second unit for however long Porter may be shelved.
