Will play Game 3 Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said Trent (illness) will play in Wednesday's Game 3 against the 76ers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Nurse said Trent is looking better and will likely draw the start, but he still isn't 100 percent and will be monitored closely during Game 3. After initially being listed as doubtful, the sharpshooter unexpectedly started Monday night's Game 2, but he was removed from the contest after only 10 minutes. Trent scored in double figures in each of the final eight regular-season games, but he's shooting just 14.3 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from deep across two playoff appearances.

Will warm up before Game 2 Trent (illness) will go through a pregame workout prior to Monday's Game 2 against the 76ers before the Raptors make an official call on his status, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.

Impact Speaking pregame, coach Nick Nurse told reporters that Trent is still "very sick," but the guard is apparently feeling better than he was earlier in the day. Nurse did not sound optimistic about Trent's chances to play, but we'll know more after he goes through the workout. At this juncture, Trent looks to be floating somewhere between questionable and doubtful.

Won't attend shootaround Monday Trent (illness) won't participate in the team shootaround Monday morning and remains doubtful for Monday's Game 2 against the 76ers, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Trent continues to deal with a non-COVID-19-related illness, and he isn't expected to play in Monday's Game 2 after missing the Raptors' morning shootaround.

Impact In addition to Trent, the Raptors are expected to be without Scottie Barnes (ankle) and Thaddeus Young (thumb) for Game 2 after none of the three players took part in Sunday's practice. Barnes and Young instead underwent MRIs, while Nurse acknowledged that Trent was in and out of practice all of last week with the illness and has struggled to regain conditioning, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca. The extent of Trent's work in practice prior to Saturday's Game 1 isn't known, but the fourth-year wing didn't look like himself in the Raptors' 131-111 loss, as he finished with nine points (2-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one block in 26 minutes. Trent's expected absence should open up more playing time for Yuta Watanabe, who was limited to five minutes in Game 1.
