The Toronto Raptors say forward OG Anunoby has a broken right ring finger and will miss the team's game tonight at Charlotte.

The Raptors confirmed Anunoby's injury in the latest injury report. A timeline for his return was not immediately available.

Anunoby is averaging a career-high 17.5 points and 5.5 rebounds a game this season for Toronto and is a significant part of the team's defence.

Anunoby missed 14 games earlier this season with a left hip pointer.

The Raptors haven't played since a 103-91 at Minnesota on Feb. 16 due to the NBA all-star break.
