Toronto Raptors forward OG 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. Based on what he saw from the forward, though, Lewenberg believes that Anunoby is still pretty far off from returning to action.

This is progress, which is great, but it also doesn't look like somebody that's anywhere close to returning and making an impact in The Finals. Gotta feel for the young man. Can only imagine how badly he must want to be out there. Been a tough season.

After defeating the Bucks 100-94 on Saturday night to win the Eastern Conference championship, the Raptors will take on the two-time defending champion Golden State Warriors in the Finals, which begin on Thursday.

The 21-year-old Anunoby, who is in his second year in the NBA, averaged 7.0 points per game and 2.9 rebounds during the regular season.
