The Spaniard had ankle problems during the game that the Raptors beat Orlando 121-108 last Saturday
Despite not being available, he traveled to Los Angeles with the team to support his teammates in the clash with the Lakers.
Juancho Hernangomezinjured with a sprained right ankle, will be low until the end of next week as Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse declared on Wednesday. Hernangómez injured his ankle after playing 4.37 minutes in the first half of the game that the Raptors played last Saturday in Toronto against the Orlando Magic. The Raptors beat the Magic 121-108.
X-ray tests that the 27-year-old underwent after leaving the field indicated that the Spanish forward did not suffer any fractures. With the Raptors, Hernangómez has played 15 games with an average of 4.7 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. While waiting for his recovery, the player sat on the Raptors bench this Wednesday along with his teammates during the match that the Torontonians played against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Hernángomez, who joined the Canadian team at the end of September after finishing Eurobasket 2022 in which the Spanish team won the championship, seems totally adapted to Canadian culture. This Wednesday, the Spanish player sat on the bench drinking coffee from Tim Hortons, a popular Canadian chain known for its coffees and donuts.
