Kyle Anderson, usually a key reserve for the Toronto Raptors, is slated to start on Monday – a rarity for the veteran forward. The move was confirmed as the Raptors announced their starting five: Shead, Walter, Barrett, Anderson, and Poeltl.
However, the same reports note that Anderson was listed as questionable on Friday because of an illness, leaving fans wondering how much minutes he'll log.
The Raptors have not clarified whether he'll play the full starter minutes or be pulled early if his condition worsens. The team's next steps remain uncertain as they await his health update before tip‑off.
Will Anderson’s rare start boost the Raptors, or will his illness limit his impact?
