Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby has sustained a fracture on his right ring finger, the team announced on Friday. He will not play Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets and could miss additional time.

The team did not indicate when Anunoby sustained the injury but said that his finger had been sore for a while prior to the all-star break with the team hoping things would heal after some time off. 

Anunoby went through a full-contact practice on Thursday and results of the X-ray that revealed a fracture were returned afterwards. He is set to get a second opinion from a specialist, tweets TSN's Josh Lewenberg. Head coach Nick Nurse says the Raptors are still hoping Anunoby will be able to play through the injury but that will be determined based on the second opinion he is set to receive.

The 24-year-old is averaging a career-high 17.5 points this season, to go along with 5.5 rebound and 2.6 assists in 42 games played.

Centre Khem Birch will take Anunoby's spot in the starting lineup, while newly acquired Thad Young will play a key role off the bench, Lewenberg tweets. 

Meanwhile, point guard Fred VanVleet will be able to play Friday night after originally being listed as questionable with a knee injury.
