The Toronto Raptors will enter Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets without the likes of Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn and Patrick McCaw due to health and safety protocols, the team announced Friday.

All members of the group have missed the last three contests, save for Siakam, who's missed four.

Head coach Nick Nurse returned last time out against the Atlanta Hawks after having missed two games himself due to health and safety protocols, during which time assistant coach Sergio Scariolo helmed the bench.

Toronto, 17-20, is now knee-deep into the second half of its season schedule.
