RDS2 and Sportish present the Celtics’ game against the Raptors from 7:30 p.m.

BEFORE THE MATCH

Toronto Raptors center Kim Birch will miss Monday night’s game against the Boston Celtics with a swollen right knee, the team announced.

The Montreal native played just under 15 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Indiana Pacers, scoring six points, two rebounds and one assist.

He averages 4.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in 48 games this season for Toronto.

The Raptors also reported that Gary Trent’s son. is a questionable case against the Celtics as he is still bothered by an injury to his big toe. The 23-year-old has lost the last three games of the Raptors.

After their game against the Celtics in Toronto, the Raptors will return to action on Wednesday as they will host the Minnesota Timberwolves.
