Serge Ibaka (ankle) expected to sit Saturday for Raptors

Toronto Raptors forward/center Serge Ibaka (right ankle) will travel with the team to Atlanta this weekend but is unlikely to play Saturday versus the Hawks.

What It Means:

Raptors head coach Nick Nurse previously hinted that Ibaka could return on Saturday, but it looks like he'll remain sidelined at least one more game. The veteran hasn't played since November 8. Chris Boucher will not be needed as much once Ibaka is back.

Ibaka is averaging 26.4 FanDuel points per game. numberFire's models project him for 12.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 0.5 triples per contest over the rest of the season.
