Raptors forward Tyler Hansbrough has a bone bruise in his ankle rather than the ankle sprain that had been previously reported, the Toronto Sun reports.
"It’s very sensitive," head coach Dwane Casey said. "There are good days and bad days. They have set target dates on it. He is working his behind off trying to get it right and he’s such a perfectionist he wants to make sure it feels right. I don’t blame him. It’s his body. There is no pressure on him. I don’t even ask him about it."
Hansbrough has been sidelined since Jan. 1 due to the ankle injury. He has averaged 5.5 points and 5.0 rebounds over 28 games played.
