Raptors’ Boucher exits pre-season finale with right knee contusion

Toronto Raptors centre Chris Boucher exited the team’s pre-season finale against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday with a right knee contusion, the team announced.

Boucher left the game early in the fourth quarter after a knee-on-knee collision with Nets forward Noah Clowney.

The 31-year-old registered 10 points with a rebound and an assist in his 11 minutes off the bench before exiting.

Boucher suffered a partial tear to the MCL in his right knee in March, but it did not require surgery.

The Raptors open up the regular season next Wednesday at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
