Birch will require surgery to repair his broken nose, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports. Birch will head back to Toronto after he suffered a broken nose in Friday's game against the Pistons. He'll likely face a multi-game absence following his procedure, which should create more opportunities for Pascal Siakam, Precious Achiuwa, Chris Boucher and OG Anunoby.

Birch suffered a broken nose in Friday's game against the Pistons, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. Birch sustained his injury in the first quarter of Friday's matchup and was ruled out shortly after. Coach Nick Nurse said that the center will head back to Toronto for treatment, so he should be unavailable Saturday against the Bucks. Whether Birch is able to return later in the Raptors' road trip remains to be seen, but Chris Boucher could see a slight uptick in playing time while the 29-year-old is sidelined.

In his absence, Chris Boucher could potentially see some more run in the frontcourt.
