A subluxation is a partial dislocation.
Powell, 25, has appeared in all 11 of the Raptors’ games this season, starting in two of them. He is averaging five points and two rebounds in 14.9 minutes per game and shooting 47.6 percent from the field and 40.9 percent from 3-point range. Both of those shooting percentages are career-highs.
The Raptors have gotten off to a terrific start to the 2018-19 season; they’re currently 10-1.
