Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said injured forward OG Anunoby has started doing a bit of work on court and is about a week away from "ramping it up" to the point where he's close to a return.
Given the lack of a timeline, it's unlikely Anunoby is ready before the back-end of the Eastern Conference Final, if not after.
The sophomore forward has been out since the start of the playoffs after undergoing an emergency appendectomy following a diagnosis of acute appendicitis. A definitive timetable was never given on the 21-year-old's return.
In 67 regular season games, Anunoby averaged 7.0 points per game on 45.3 per cent shooting to go along with 2.9 rebounds per contest.
The Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks will kick things off from the Fiserv Forum at 8:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday night.
