During the second quartet of the Toronto Raptors’ game against the Washington Wizards on Thursday night, Raptors’ swingman Terrence Ross went down with an ankle injury.

Rotoworld described the play Ross was injured.

"He was driving to the basket and stepped on someone’s foot to cause his ankle to roll. Ross shot his free throws, then checked out and went to the locker room under his own power. He should be considered questionable for Sundays’ game against the Warriors. Ross finished with 11 points, two boards, one assist and three 3-pointers. John Salmons started in the second half."

Ross was having an excellent and efficient game, shooting three-of-five from the field, so it was a bad time for him to go down.

Ross, the eighth overall pick of the 2012 draft, is an excellent athlete and showed signed of becoming a very good player. However, Ross lacks any kind of consistency, which is normal for a second-year player.

On the season, he’s averaging 10.6 points and 3.1 rebounds per game.
