Initial X-rays negative on Agbaji’s right hip. No update beyond that. Med staff will evaluate further over the coming days (Raptors don’t play again until Sunday).

Agbaji was going up for a lob on his way to the basket when he made contact with Knicks guard Miles McBride and crashed hard on to the court.
The 23-year-old remained down on the ground and was eventually helped up and went directly to the team’s locker room without putting weight on his right leg.
Agbaji played five minutes in Wednesday’s game and picked up an assist and a rebound before suffering the injury.
The Milwaukee native has averaged 5.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 71 games this season for the Raptors and Utah Jazz.
