Raptors vs Warriors Injury Report Jan. 27: Is Andrew Wiggins playing?

The Toronto Raptors have won their last two games, showing that this team still has some life despite a constant barrage of trade rumors bombarding the team. The Raptors have to deal with a long West Coast road trip during this uncertain time.

While the Golden State Warriors look nothing like the team that is fresh off winning a championship last season, there is still very reason to fear a team that has Steph Curry and Jordan Poole ready to light it up from 3-point range.

The Raptors have very rarely been healthy this year, but they can be happy with the fact that many of their big name movers and shakers are ready to go in this game.

Will the Raptors be able to make it three in a row as they take down Golden State and start this road trip 2-0? Will Curry and the rest of the squad be too much for them to handle?

Toronto Raptors injury report vs. Golden State Warriors January 27

• Dalano Banton: Questionable (Hip)
• Otto Porter Jr: Out (Foot)

Banton is not only dealing with a hip injury that has impacted his sophomore season, but he needs to find some way to get back in Nick Nurse’s good graces. Will this game against Golden State potentially give him that shot?

Porter is out for the season due to a nagging foot injury, having played in just eight games during what has become an extremely disappointing first season with Toronto after signing a multi-year contract in free agency.

Golden State Warriors injury report

• Andrew Wiggins: Questionable (Illness)
• Andre Iguodala: Out (Hip)

Wiggins was a late scratch ahead of Golden State home victory over the Grizzlies, and his potential absence will make things increasingly difficult for the Warriors against a Toronto team that has won two straight games. Wiggins is averaging 17.5 points per game with some of the most efficient shooting of his career.

Iguodala is on the bench for vibes and leadership more than anything else at this point, as he hasn’t averaged more than five points per game in the last four years. Still, he could be effective near the basket if called into action. Toronto needs to keep an eye on him.

The Raptors may have won two straight games, but they will still need all the lucky breaks they can get against a very good Warriors team.
