The Toronto Raptors will be without Patrick McCaw for Saturday’s game against the Chicago Bulls due to a sprained right thumb, the club announced.

McCaw will wear a splint for approximately three weeks, after which his condition will be updated.

His injury occurred during the first half of Toronto’s win against the New York Knicks.

Throughout 26 games with the Raptors this season, the 23-year-old is averaging 2.7 points and 1.7 rebounds on 44-per cent shooting from the field in just over 13 minutes of action per night.
