Raptors head coach Nick Nurse got a huge ovation as he came out to get his championship ring Tuesday night. It meant playing Kyle Lowry almost 45 minutes after Lowry played just one pre-season game getting ready for the season. VanVleet played 13 of the final 17 minutes, including all five of overtime on that throbbing ankle. “I think what you see is what he is right now,” Nurse said of his rookie’s NBA debut. Ujiri just wanted the whole mess to go away and it did Tuesday when California prosecutors announced they would not be pursuing the matter.
