- Game 6 is an elimination game for the Raptors, to be played in Toronto.

The Toronto Raptors received a substantial injury update following their 125-120 Game 5 defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. Brandon Ingram was sidelined early in the second quarter due to a non-contact injury.
It was later confirmed that Ingram is experiencing right heel inflammation, a potentially serious condition. He played only 11 minutes, contributing just one point from a free throw. His absence significantly impacted the team's dynamics on the court.
Scottie Barnes, a teammate, highlighted Ingram's importance, noting how his shooting ability and defensive plays are vital. The team needs his presence to draw defensive attention and make key contributions.
All attention is now focused on Ingram's condition over the next 24 hours. Game 6, scheduled for Friday, is an elimination match for the Raptors. Playing at home in Toronto, they will be hoping Ingram recovers in time to participate.
