FRED VANVLEET NEWS

Listed as questionable for Sunday VanVleet (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact VanVleet was a late addition to the injury report Saturday with soreness in his right ribs and was ultimately sidelined for the Raptors' 106-104 loss to the Celtics. The point guard is now a question mark for the second half of Toronto's back-to-back set, and his availability for Sunday's game likely won't be known until closer to the 6 p.m. ET opening tip. Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes could see more opportunities to facilitate the offense if VanVleet is sidelined again Sunday.

Downgraded to out VanVleet (ribs) will not play in Saturday's game against the Celtics, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca

Impact VanVleet was a late addition to the injury report Saturday with soreness in his right ribs and will end up sidelined due to the issue. With Dalano Banton (hip) also absent, Malachi Flynn will see expanded run, while Scottie Barnes could see more ball-handling duties. With Saturday's tilt being the first of a back-to-back set and the Celtics resting Jayson Tatum, fantasy managers should not be concerned about Vanvleet's absence and can expect him to return for Sunday's meeting with the Knicks.

Double-digit dimes in loss VanVleet closed with 25 points (7-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound, 10 assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 128-126 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact VanVleet had double-digit assist numbers for just the third time this season, continuing what has been a nice return to form over the past week. He has been a top-10 player over that span, bringing his season rank up to 22. While his per-game production has been about where fantasy managers expected, the fact he is playing upwards of 36 minutes on most nights is cause for concern in terms of his long-term health.
