Nov 12, 2019 | 2:53 PM

TORONTO — Raptors forward OG Anunoby has been diagnosed with a contusion to his right eye and will not play in Toronto’s game at Portland on Wednesday.

The Raptors said on Twitter that Anunoby saw a specialist today in Los Angeles, who made the diagnosis.

The Raptors did not provide any further details or a timetable for Anunoby’s return.

Anunoby was injured two minutes into Toronto’s 98-88 loss against the Clippers in Los Angeles on Monday when he was accidentally poked in the eye by Clippers star Kawhi Leonard while the two battled for a rebound.

Raptors coach Nick Nurse said Anunoby lost both his contacts and was bleeding after the play, which didn’t draw a foul. Anunoby was seen with a bandage over his eye after the game.
