LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Toronto Raptors forward Serge Ibaka suffered a sprained left ankle Monday night and is questionable for Game 6 of the team’s playoff series against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday.

Ibaka was wearing a walking boot on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old says how he’ll see how he feels on Wednesday before making a call on his status for the elimination game.

Ibaka suffered the injury after falling awkwardly while playing defence in the second half of Toronto’s 111-89 loss to the Celtics on Monday, giving Boston a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal.

Ibaka is a key player off the bench for Toronto. He is averaging 15.1 points and 8.2 rebounds during the playoffs.
