Key Raptors big man could miss Game 6 vs. Celtics

Serge Ibaka has been the Raptors' best bench player in the second round, but Toronto could have to play without him in Wednesday's Game 6 as the Celtics look to finish off the series.

The seven-footer was in a walking boot when he met with the media in Orlando Tuesday, and he revealed that he twisted his ankle in Game 5.


Ibaka said he will see how he feels Wednesday morning and that his availability for Game 6 would be determined from there.

Ibaka has averaged 11.8 points and 6.6 rebounds in 23.2 minutes per game in this series. He has made 11 of his 22 three-point attempts and given the Raptors much more of an offensive punch from the center position than starter Marc Gasol has.

If Ibaka can't go, it will force the Raptors to go small more. Aside from Ibaka and Gasol, the only other player over 6-foot-9 on the Raptors' roster is rookie Dewan Hernandez, who hasn't played a single minute this postseason.
