The Toronto Raptors will be without OG Anunoby again on Friday night when they take on the Sacramento Kings.

Head Coach Nick Nurse told reporters that Anunoby will be out due to a left calf strain.

Anunoby was previously listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game but he'll end up missing his second straight game. 

Tough timing for the 23-year-old who had been playing his best basketball to date. In 17 games Anunoby has been putting up career numbers averaging 14.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 1.6 assists.

With Anunoby out of the lineup in Wednesday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Norman Powell stepped into the starting lineup and finished with a game-high 26 points while shooting 61.5 percent. 

Powell is now listed as out for Friday's game as well with a thigh bruise. 

More to come.
