On the Raptors lineup

DeMar DeRozan is out, Kawhi Leonard is in. That’s the big Raptors news that dominated the offseason and will be the main thought in mind when watching the team this season. And while Leonard and guard Kyle Lowry are sure to start, some lineup questions do exist. Here’s the Toronto Sun reporting from today’s Raptors open practice:

The team’s annual open practice was highlighted by a fast-paced scrimmage that gave head coach Nick Nurse another look at potential lineups.

While all-stars Kyle Lowry and Kawhi Leonard stayed together on one squad all morning, others like Serge Ibaka, Jonas Valanciunas, Danny Green, Fred VanVleet and C.J. Miles alternated as the scrimmage went on.

It is still unclear what the starting group will look like and OG Anunoby, potentially the starting power forward, has been absent to deal with a family matter. Anunoby is now back with the team and will travel to Montreal for the game against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday.
