Nurse said there would be no restrictions on Ibaka’s playing time on Wednesday

Monday’s loss left the Raptors trailing Boston 3-2 in the Eastern Conference semifinal, and facing elimination.

Ibaka has been a key player off the bench for the defending NBA champions, averaging 15.1 points and 8.2 rebounds during the playoffs. He suffered the injury after falling awkwardly while playing defence in the second half on Sunday. And while he said he felt he could have kept playing, it was feeling worse once he awoke on Tuesday. He wore a walking boot at Tuesday’s Zoom availability with the media.

Rival Watch: What U.S. media are saying after Raptors' Game 5 letdown - Sportsnet.ca'I believe they’ve been done since they were down 0-2.' The U.S. media reviews are in for the Toronto Raptors' Game 5 performance, and the consensus is far from optimistic. Said it after 0-2 to the Bucks last year too. They may not win, but they certainly weren’t done after 0-2....hence tying it up 2-2.
