Toronto Raptors centre Serge Ibaka is heading home to Toronto to rehab his sprained ankle, according to Sportsnet’s Eric Smith.
The Raptors are currently in Los Angeles, as part of a five-game road trip, for a back-to-back against the Lakers and Clippers on Sunday and Monday, respectively.
Norman Powell is also expected to start against the Lakers in place of point guard Kyle Lowry, who sustained a fracture in his left thumb.
The team announced Saturday that Ibaka and Lowry are both out indefinitely after getting hurt during Friday night’s 122-104 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
Lowry will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
