Raptors forward Precious Achiuwa is in the midst of an injury\u002Dplagued season. It\u0027s been a battle but he hasn\u0027t given up the fight.
The injury would cost Achiuwa 24 games and coupled with what turned out to be a season-ending broken toe to Otto Porter Jr. put a huge strain on an already depleted Raptors’ bench.We apologize, but this video has failed to load.
Through it all Achiuwa leaned on his family and friends back in New York to keep his spirits up and leaned heavily on Raptors’ player development coach Fab Flourney who is a constant presence in Achiuwa’s life particularly between games whether that’s in the practice facility working tirelessly on his shot or in the film room and even beyond that.
Achiuwa has shown the Raptors what he is capable of being in the past but hasn’t been able to do much of that this season. He’s still young, still very strong and very athletic with the kind of quick feet that are rare for big men and allow him to provide the type of defence this team covets. It’s that work that has kept him from going to those bad places that are always possible when a professional is struggling to regain his form, and everything seems against him.
