Raptors’ Ochai Agbaji exits Knicks matchup after scary fall

TORONTO — The Raptors added to their long list of injuries early in Wednesday’s game against the Knicks with a scary fall to the floor by guard Ochai Agbaji.

 Agbaji landed hard on his back following a foul by Miles McBride in the first quarter and was down for several minutes before being helped to the locker room.

The team announced he would not return with a rip hip contusion.

The Raptors, losers of 11 straight games, already were without former Knicks RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley (personal reasons), as well as All-Star wing Scottie Barnes (hand), Jakob Poeltl (finger) and Chris Boucher (knee).

Jontay Porter also missed his third straight game while the NBA investigates irregularities on prop bets involving him.
