P.J. Tucker (illness) probable Saturday for Raptors
Toronto Raptors guard/forward P.J. Tucker (illness) did not practice on Friday but is expected to play Saturday versus the Milwaukee Bucks, per head coach Dwane Casey.
What It Means:
Casey said Tucker was sent home from practice as a precautionary measure to not infect anyone else on the team. DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry have also reportedly been dealing with some sort of bug. It's not expected to limit their workloads on Saturday for Game 1 of the first-round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
numberFire's metrics project Tucker for 6.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 3-pointers in 25.9 minutes versus Milwaukee in Game 1.
