Game-high 31 points in loss Friday Trent provided 31 points (10-17 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 113-103 loss to the Magic.
Impact Trent missed the last two games due to a right groin strain, but was able to suit up and appeared to show no signs of slowing down as he led the Raptors in scoring in Friday's loss. His 31 points were a season high and the second time he's scored 30-plus points this season. Over his last five games, Trent has averaged 23.4 points on 47.8 percent shooting (including 42.3 percent from three on 10.4 3PA/G), 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals over 34.6 minutes per game.

Gets green light Trent (groin) will play Friday against the Magic, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
Impact Trent has missed back-to-back games due to a right groin strain but will return to action Friday. His presence likely means slightly fewer opportunities for Gradey Dick, Bruce Brown and Ochai Agbaji. Before he was sidelined, Trent scored in double figures in eight of his last nine appearances and averaged 17.2 points and 1.1 steals in 33.3 minutes per game.

Questionable for Friday Trent (groin) is questionable for Friday's game against Orlando, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
Impact Trent is at risk of missing a third consecutive game due to a right groin strain. His ultimate status will have ripple effects for Toronto's rotation, as Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji, Jordan Nwora and Jahmi'us Ramsey all represent young options getting run for the Raptors of late.
MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE
Officially out Trent (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Kayla Grey of TSN reports.
Impact Trent will miss a second straight game due to a right groin strain. Gradey Dick should draw another start, but Immanuel Quickley (hip) is slated to return from a one-game absence and should lead Toronto's offense.

Unlikely to play Wednesday Trent (groin) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Impact Trent has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful and will likely miss a second straight game due to a right groin strain. Gradey Dick should draw another start at shooting guard, but Immanuel Quickley (hip) is slated to return from a one-game absence and should handle elevated usage.

Iffy for Wednesday Trent (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
Impact Trent and Immanuel Quickley (hip) are questionable after missing Monday's loss to the Nuggets, while RJ Barrett (personal) won't be available. Trent's been playing well since the All-Star break, averaging 17.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.3 minutes across his last nine appearances, but if he's sidelined, Gradey Dick and Javon Freeman-Liberty would be candidates for increased roles again.

Ruled out Monday Trent (groin) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Nuggets, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Trent was a late addition to the injury report Monday, but it didn't take long for the Raptors to rule him out completely of the matchup against the reigning NBA champions. Trent's absence should open up playing time for the likes of Gradey Dick and Javon Freeman-Liberty, but his absence will be felt. The sharpshooter is averaging 17.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.3 minutes over nine appearances since the All-Star break. His next chance to play will come against the Pistons on Wednesday.

Late addition to injury report Trent is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to a groin strain, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Trent and Immanuel Quickley (hip) are late additions to the injury report, joining Bruce Brown (knee) as questionable, and RJ Barrett (illness) has been upgraded to probable after initially being listed as questionable. Trent has been solid since the All-Star break, averaging 17.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.3 minutes over nine appearances for a shorthanded Raptors squad.

Posts 23 points in loss Trent logged 23 points (10-26 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 42 minutes during Saturday's 128-118 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact With Scottie Barnes (hand) and RJ Barrett (illness) sidelined, Trent has taken his usual starting role and ramped up production over the past few games. Trent's floor has been unpredictable and he's definitely experienced a downturn compared to his production last season, but with the recent rash of injuries, Trent will play a critical role as the team attempts to improve its bleak playoff hopes.

Scores season-high mark Thursday Trent provided 30 points (11-22 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and three rebounds over 36 minutes during Thursday's 120-113 loss to Phoenix.
Impact Trent didn't do much outside of scoring, but it's not like he needed to chip in across other categories, mainly due to this impressive scoring display. Trent's fantasy upside is closely tied to what he can do as a scoring threat and three-point shooter, and while it'd be a stretch to imagine he'd hover around the 30-point mark on a regular basis, he's scored in double digits in all but one of his last eight appearances, a span in which he's averaging 16.5 points per game while shooting 35.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Struggles in loss Friday Trent contributed nine points (4-14 FG, 1-8 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 120-105 loss to the Warriors.
Impact Trent's offensive struggles continued in the loss, shooting under 38 percent from the floor for the seventh time in the past nine games. Despite playing as a starter, Trent has not been able to find any consistency on either end of the floor. He is well outside the top 150 for the season, making him nothing more than a streaming consideration. Based on what we have seen of late, even that might be a stretch.
MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE
Leads Raps in scoring Thursday Trent posted 25 points (9-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Thursday's 121-93 win over Brooklyn.
Impact With Thursday's performance, Trent has now scored 20-plus points five times this season. He was incredibly efficient from the field and was responsible for five of the Raptors' 14 threes on the night. Trent is averaging 11.7 points per game while shooting a career-best 42.5 percent from three this season.

Will play Wednesday Trent (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Trent was probable for Wednesday's matchup after exiting Monday's loss to New Orleans, so it isn't very surprising to see him get the green light. Over his last five full appearances, he's averaged 16.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in 30.6 minutes per game.
FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as probable Trent (back) is probable for Wednesday's game against Charlotte, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Trent exited Monday's loss to New Orleans with lower back stiffness, but it appears to be a minor flare-up given that he's on track for Wednesday's game. His status will need to be monitored, but Trent has been largely healthy this season, missing just five of Toronto's 50 games thus far.

Drains six triples in victory Trent finished Tuesday's 118-107 victory over the Bulls with 24 points (9-15 FG, 6-11 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 32 minutes.
Impact Trent paced Toronto in scoring and recorded just his second performance of 20-plus points over 13 games in January. His 15 field-goal attempts and 32 minutes Tuesday each marked his highest total this month and can be at least partly attributed to the Raptors playing without RJ Barrett (knee) and Immanuel Quickley (quadriceps). Still, Trent has been on a heater from deep of late, going 27-for-52 (51.9 percent) from beyond the arc over his past seven contests.

Leads from deep in 15-point showing Trent racked up 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt), one rebound and two steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 126-125 loss to Atlanta.
Impact Trent led all Raptors players in threes made to go along with a pair of steals and ending as one of four players with 15 or more points in a losing effort. Trent has connected on four or more threes in 11 games, including in two of his last four outings. He has also tallied at least 13 points in three of his last four games.
