Raptors Rule Out Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam Expected to Play The Toronto Raptors will be without Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby, but Pascal Siakam will play vs. the Houston Rockets

APRIL 8, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Ruled out Friday VanVleet has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets due to right knee injury management.

Impact VanVleet rested Thursday against the 76ers and wasn't on the Raptors' initial injury report Friday, but he'll ultimately be sidelined for a second straight game. Armoni Brooks and Malachi Flynn are in line for increased run against Houston.

Not listed on injury report VanVleet (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Impact VanVleet sat out Thursday's win over the Raptors for rest purposes, but he's expected to be back in the starting lineup after being omitted from the injury report. Before his absence, the point guard had averaged 15.0 points, 6.3 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in 35.1 minutes across his previous eight contests.

Raptors Rule Out Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby Targeting Sunday Return The Toronto Raptors will rest Fred VanVleet against the Philadelphia 76ers and are hoping to have OG Anunoby back on Sunday

APRIL 7, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Will rest Thursday VanVleet will be rested for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Michael Grange of SportsNet reports.

Impact VanVleet has played in eight consecutive contests, so the Raptors will build in a night off on the front end of a back-to-back. Expect the guard to return for Friday's game against the Rockets, who stack up as a much more favorable opponent.

Woeful shooting persists VanVleet finished with 12 points (4-21 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 118-108 victory over Atlanta.

Impact Since returning from a four-game absence due to a persistent knee issue, VanVleet has failed to make more than eight shots in a single game, and he was shooting just 36.6 percent from the field and 29.6 percent from distance before Tuesday's tragic 4-for-21 showing. Fantasy managers are still getting nice assist and steal numbers out of the point guard, but the field-goal percentage is quite damaging.

Ties for team-high 29 points VanVleet put up 29 points (7-17 FG, 4-11 3PT, 11-11 FT), seven assists, three steals and two rebounds in Sunday's 114-109 loss to Miami.

Impact After averaging 14.6 points in his last nine games, VanVleet doubled that total against the Heat in a losing effort. Despite the high scoring output, the sixth-year guard's shooting numbers have been forgettable as he's only knocked down 40.7 percent of his shots from the field.

Accrued five steals in win VanVleet had 12 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and five steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 125-102 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact VanVleet struggled with his shot once again, but he salvaged his offensive night by dishing out at least eight assists for the third time over his last five appearances. The point guard also displayed his defensive prowess, tying his season high with five steals -- a mark he's reached twice now. Over his last five games, VanVleet has averaged just 12.0 points on 34.9 percent shooting, but he'll look to bounce back Friday against the Magic.

Impact VanVleet struggled with his shot in the win, scoring 14 points while converting only 30.7 percent from the floor. Although he didn't show up on the injury report, the knee injury he sustained during Saturday's game against the Pacers may have contributed to his shaky shooting night.

Not on injury report VanVleet (knee) is not listed on the injury report for Monday's game against Boston.

Impact VanVleet was held out of the conclusion of Saturday's game against the Pacers, which was temporarily suspended due to a fire at the arena, but all indications are that he'll be available at full capacity to begin a four-game week for Toronto. The guard's production has declined sharply of late, as he's averaging just 15.2 points on 34.8 percent shooting (25.5% 3Pt) over his last six full games (39.5 MPG).
