VIDEOS: Raptors' Bennett posterizes Lakers' Upshaw, rolls ankle soon after
Anthony Bennett occasionally shows glimpses of why he was drafted so high in 2013.
Los Angeles Lakers big man Robert Upshaw felt the Canadian's wrath during a preseason showdown against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night, with Bennett driving the lane and throwing down a monster one-handed jam over the 7-footer late in the fourth quarter.
The former No. 1 overall pick got two of his four total points from that posterization, but left the game shortly after with an apparent ankle injury after stepping on Jonathan Holmes' foot.

Kyle Lowry led Toronto with a game-high 25 points as the Raptors earned a 105-98 victory over the Lakers at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif.
Bennett signed a one-year, veteran minimum contract with the Raptors in September after the Minnesota Timberwolves placed him on waivers.
