Toronto Raptors forward Precious Achiuwa suffered a left groin strain at training camp and is set to miss the team's first pre-season game against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, the team said Friday.
Achiuwa will undergo further evaluation once the team returns to Toronto after beginning training camp in Vancouver.
The 24-year-old is entering his fourth season in the NBA and third with the Raptors after being part of the trade that sent Kyle Lowry to the Miami Heat.
He averaged 9.2 points and six rebounds last season but dealt with an ankle injury that sidelined him for over a month midway through the year.
