The Toronto Raptors are "quietly optimistic" OG Anunoby will be able to return at some point during the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors, according to Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun.
Per sources, the Raptors are quietly optimistic that they’ll get OG Anunoby back at some point vs. Warriors in the NBA Finals. They don’t know for sure, but spacing of games should help. Also long breaks between most games helps Kawhi quite a bit.

Anunoby, who has been out since April 12 following an appendectomy, was working out on court at Scotiabank Arena prior to Saturday night's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals versus the Milwaukee Bucks.
TSN Raptors reporter Josh Lewenberg remarked that this was the first time he had seen Anunoby working out pre-game since he was sidelined.
