I think he said it was his pinky last year. But yes, a bit concerning that he insinuated it wasn’t fully healed.

That’ll do it for the open scrimmage here in Calgary. Ingram, Quickley, CMB, Dick and Mamu were the standouts. Lots of turnovers and fouls, as you might expect 4 days into camp. Raptors will play their first preseason game (vs Denver) in Vancouver on Monday night.

Barnes is back on the floor to start the 2nd half of the scrimmage. No tape on his left hand (he had his thumb wrapped up on the bench earlier). He seems fine.

Looked like Scottie Barnes tweaked his left thumb going for a steal in the Raptors' open practice. He asked out of the scrimmage and is being tended to on the bench.

Rookie Collin Murray-Boyles has been one of the most impressive players on the floor today. Really pressuring Barnes and Ingram on D, which tracks with what he told us the other day. "I want to make it as hard as possible on them on offence. That's how I'm making them better."

Chomche hasn't been participating in practice the past few days and isn't in uniform today. Expecting an update on his status early next week.

The units the Raptors are running with in their open practice. Could change, but telling (most notably, Walter with the 3rd group, not 2nd unit):

Quickley/Barrett/Ingram/Barnes/Poeltl
Shead/Dick/Agbaji/CMB/Mamu
Hepburn/Walter/Battle/Roddy/Mogbo
Martin/Temple/Lawson/Rhoden/Sarr

Raptors star Ingram embracing fresh start with Toronto After missing the last 10 months with a high-ankle sprain, Brandon Ingram is ready to show his new team what he can bring to the table. Josh Lewenberg has more.

To fully appreciate what this past year has been like for Brandon Ingram, and why he's excited for his fresh start, you need to understand where his love of basketball came from. On the Raptors' soft-spoken star, who's beginning to open up: www.tsn.ca/nba/article/...

Yesterday, I asked Immanuel Quickley what he's learned about Brandon Ingram. "He's goofier than people think."

Today, BI said getting to know the guys/their families has been an important part of getting acclimated. "When you get to know a person you've gotta know their values"

Brandon Ingram's early impressions of Darko Rajakovic: "He's intense all the time... He's been very present every single day. When we come in here we expect energy from him and he brings it every time."

Chatted with Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley, who told me he changed his diet ("a lot more carbs") and upped his cardio over the summer.

"I'm in better shape. Stronger legs. Just locking in."

Rajakovic reiterated that the Raptors want to play ultra aggressively on D this season, like we saw in the 2nd half of last year and in Summer League. With that style of play, he expects to spread out the minutes and use a big (10 or 11-man) rotation.

After a couple seasons of significant roster turnaround, Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said he's excited to have some continuity going into camp and he could feel the impact of it on Day 1. "It felt like we weren't starting from zero, like we are building on the foundation we created."

Barrett on Ingram: "Brandon and I compete a lot. What I’ve seen with him is his work ethic. He comes in every day, he comes in early, he works on his stuff. He’s a true professional... I can see why he’s been as good as he is."
