The Raptors come into this game with a 26-31 record, which is good for 11th in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the Pistons are 15-42 and have the second-worst record in the conference.
It’s a game that the Raptors can surely win, even without Nurse leading the charge.
Tip-off for Pistons-Raptors will be at 3 p.m. ET and it’ll be televised by TSN and Bally Sports Detroit.
Hopefully, everything is okay so that Nurse can rejoin the team ASAP.
