Grange:
I spoke with Anunoby about his place in the Toronto firmament on Friday prior to him getting hurt after a scary fall from a foul on a dunk attempt. Reports about his relative satisfaction or lack thereof have been circulating since last summer, but when he’s spoken on it he’s dismissed them. So no surprise the individual Raptor most indifferent to media attention has paid little mind to being arguably the most prominent name making the rounds as trade speculation heats up.
As conversations go it was, predictable: short, polite, one-sided, and so for Anunoby, perfectly on brand:
If there was anything to rumours that he wants out of Toronto?
Anunoby: “No. It is what it is.”
Is he happy with his role in the Raptors offence?
Anunoby: “Just trying to get better every day. Some games you get a bigger role. It’s the same for everyone. It changes game to game.”
If it bothered him that his name was featuring fairly prominently in trade rumours leading up to the deadline:
Anunoby: “No, it doesn’t bother me. What can I do about it? I didn’t tell anyone to do that story or say whatever. It’s not my choice for whatever is going on to be going on. I can’t control it, so what’s the point of being mad about it?
