FRED VANVLEET NEWS

Shakes off rust in win VanVleet finished with 23 points (7-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), one rebound and eight assists across 39 minutes during Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Impact VanVleet struggled to find his shooting touch in this one after missing Toronto's last two matchups due to illness, but he still managed to finish second behind teammate O.G. Anunoby in scoring. VanVleet also recorded his best assist total since Nov. 6, when he dished out 11 dimes. He's averaging 18.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 2.1 steals on 40.9 percent shooting from three over 11 games this season.

Will play Wednesday VanVleet (illness) will suit up for Wednesday's game versus the Heat, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Impact VanVleet's questionable status leading up to Wednesday's game marked a notable upgrade from the immediate out status he received before Monday's clash, so it seemed he was in better shape to take the floor in this one. VanVleet should reassume his starting duties at point guard, likely shifting Scottie Barnes back to the frontcourt while reducing Malachi Flynn's minutes.

Deemed questionable Wednesday VanVleet (illness) holds a questionable designation for Wednesday's game versus the Heat, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Impact VanVleet's status should be updated again on game day, but it at least marks a slight upgrade from the immediate out status he received for Monday's tilt. If VanVleet can't go again, Malachi Flynn and Dalano Banton could see increased action, while Scottie Barnes may be tasked with more ball-handling duties.

Won't play versus Pacers Raptors coach Nick Nurse said VanVleet (illness) is out for Saturday's game versus Indiana, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

Impact VanVleet has been downgraded from questionable to out due to a non-COVID illness Saturday. His absence could open up more minutes in the backcourt for Malachi Flynn and Dalano Banton. Scottie Barnes will also likely handle more playmaking duties.

Questionable Saturday VanVleet is questionable to play in Saturday's game versus the Pacers due to illness, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Impact VanVleet is averaging 26.0 points, 5.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 34.3 minutes over his last four games. Malachi Flynn should be in line for extended minutes at point guard if VanVleet can't go Saturday.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes step back in Friday's loss VanVleet racked up 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Friday's 132-113 loss to the Thunder.

Impact VanVleet was coming off three impressive performances in which he scored at least 27 points, so the regression was almost expected to happen sooner rather than later. Even after this performance, VanVleet should continue to have a big role in Toronto's offensive scheme, especially while Pascal Siakam (groin) remains out. The point guard is averaging 26.0 points, 5.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds in four November contests.

Carries Raptors to victory VanVleet posted 32 points (12-26 FG, 7-16 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, four steals, three rebounds and a block across 35 minutes in Wednesday's 116-109 win over the Rockets.

Impact VanVleet led Toronto in scoring for the second game in a row, and he has reached the 30-point plateau in two of his last three games since returning from a three-game absence due to a back issue. He's already one of the top scoring options on the Raptors roster at full strength, but he's been handling a bigger workload with Pascal Siakam (groin) out and, so far, he's been up to the task. He's definitively trending in the right direction after a somewhat slow start to the season.

He has also hit 11 three-pointers over the last two games after struggling a bit from beyond the arc prior to missing some time with a back injury.
