GARY TRENT JR. NEWS

Shines as scorer Trent ended with 27 points (11-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt) and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Trent thrived as a scoring threat and was very efficient for a guard, but he barely contributed in other categories. Even though most of his value will eventually be tied up to what he can do scoring the rock, it'd be nice to see him contributing in other categories on a steady basis as well. He's yet to record at least three assists or three steals in a single game, and he hasn't grabbed more than one rebound since he pulled down five boards in the season opener.

Pours in 23 points Saturday Trent racked up 23 points (7-18 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Saturday's 112-109 loss to Miami.

Impact Trent tied with Pascal Siakam for the team lead in scoring in the contest thanks largely to a 5-for-12 mark from three-point range. As usual, he didn't do much as a rebounder or passer but did supply a pair of thefts and a blocked shot. Trent's fantasy value is tempered by his limited skill set, but few players are more prolific from beyond the arc.

Drops 19 in Wednesday's win Trent totaled 19 points (5-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 108-105 win over Cleveland.

Impact The Toronto offense struggled early but caught fire late, with Trent's long-range shooting proving to be clutch down the stretch. He led the Raptors with four made three-pointers, building on his impressive first full season with the club in 2021-22 that saw him average career highs with 18.3 points and 3.0 threes per game.

Impact Trent suffered the injury during an exhibition against Chicago and was sidelined for an additional contest, but it doesn't seem like the issue is too serious. During his first full season with Toronto, Trent posted 18.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 35.0 minutes per game. He figures to garner a similar role during the 2022-23 campaign.

Won't play Friday Trent has been ruled out for Friday's preseason finale against the Celtics due to right IT band tightness, Kayla Grey of TSN reports.

Impact Per Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca, Trent suffered the injury during Sunday's exhibition against the Bulls and has been held out of practice since. There was hope that the shooting guard would be available for the preseason finale, which suggests the issue isn't too severe. Regardless, it's certainly a concerning development for Trent with the regular season less than a week away.

Drops 17 points Sunday Trent tallied 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 29 minutes in a 115-98 loss to Chicago on Sunday.

Impact Trent had a productive first half, making all five of his shot attempts and scoring 15 of his 17 points while playing 20 minutes. It was his best performance of the preseason and the first time he exceeded 10 points. He's shooting 51.6 percent from the field and is 9-for-10 from the free-throw line in four preseason games.

Serviceable effort in loss Trent closed with 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two steals and one assist in 26 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to Houston.

Impact Trent was far from spectacular but managed to rack up a pair of steals in the loss, an element of his game that he will need to maintain should he hope to repeat his efforts from last season. Currently entrenched as a starter, his overall game is built on his ability to score from the perimeter and his defense. While he is a viable target in the mid-to-late rounds, there is very little margin for error when it comes to maintaining said value.

Drops 19 in season-ending loss Trent notched 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and two assists in 40 minutes during Thursday's 132-97 loss to the 76ers.

Impact The fourth-year guard bounced back from an illness that limited him in the first two games of the series, averaging 16.8 points, 2.4 boards, 2.2 threes, 2.1 assists and 1.7 steals over the final four contests against Philadelphia. Trent has become an effective backcourt complement to the Raptors' parade of long, athletic forwards, and next season he'll look to top the career-high 18.3 points and 3.0 three-pointers he recorded in 2021-22.
