Toronto Raptors shooting guard Norman Powell will miss the rest of the team’s game Monday with a left ankle sprain.

Powell collided with teammate OG Anunoby just over a minute into a game against the Utah Jazz and limped to the locker-room.

The 26-year-old had been on a good run of late, averaging 16.8 points per game in 43 matchups this season.

In a separate play shortly after, Anunoby also landed in the locker-room after taking an offensive foul from Utah’s Mike Conley. His status for the rest of the game wasn’t immediately available.
