Chris Boucher has a partial MCL tear in the knee

Toronto Raptors forward Chris Boucher has endured a partial tear of his MCL in his right knee. The injury occurred after the Raptors’ game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night. Boucher, who tied the game with a tip-in with 0.7 seconds left, sustained the injury during that play.

The extent of Boucher’s absence is currently uncertain, and with 17 regular-season games remaining, it is undetermined how much time he will miss. The Raptors are currently 6.5 games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the final spot in the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament.
