Gradey Dick News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Drains four threes Thursday Dick ended with 19 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 101-94 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact Dick has been a bit inconsistent from time to time, but it's undeniable that he seems to be taking a step forward in recent games. The second-year guard has scored at least 15 points in five of his six December appearances, averaging 19.5 points per game and shooting 36.4 percent from deep in that stretch. The shooting numbers he posted in college haven't translated to the NBA yet, but the sharpshooter guard seems to be trending in the right direction based on his numbers in the last few weeks.

Scores 27 points in loss Dick accumulated 27 points (9-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to Chicago.

Impact Dick is establishing himself as a reliable offensive option in a rebuilding Toronto team, and his numbers have been quite good since returning from a five-game absence between Nov. 25 and Dec. 3 due to a calf problem. Dick has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last four appearances and is averaging 20.8 points per game in that span, but he's doing so by shooting just 39.4 percent from the floor and 30.8 percent from deep. Fantasy managers in standard formats won't mind the lack of efficiency as long as he keeps producing, but his value could take a hit in category-based leagues if he doesn't turn things around in that department.

Puts up 22 points Thursday Dick recorded 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Thursday's 114-104 loss to Miami.

Impact Dick surpassed the 20-point mark for the eighth time this season. Even though going 3-for-11 from three-point range isn't exactly eye-popping, the shooting volume will allow Dick to remain relevant in fantasy, especially considering how depleted the Raptors are right now. The second-year guard has scored at least 15 points in three of his last four appearances, so he seems to be trending in the right direction. He's likely to flourish as a solid scoring weapon due to the absence of other key rotation pieces, such as Scottie Barnes (ankle) and Immanuel Quickley (elbow), for the time being.

Shoots well in return Dick (calf) tallied 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two steals and one rebound across 23 minutes Thursday in the Raptors' 129-92 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Because of the blowout nature of the game in addition to the fact that he was returning from a five-game absence due to a bruised left calf, Dick saw his fewest minutes of the season Thursday. The second-year wing started and shot well from three-point land in his return, but aside from his contributions in the steals category, his stat line was mostly lacking. Dick is averaging 17.9 points and 2.4 three-pointers over his 18 appearances thus far, but many of his big games came with Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley (elbow) missing time with injuries. Quickley appears on track to return at some point later this month, so Dick could be headed for a reduction in his 22.7 percent usage rate as the season unfolds.

Impact Dick has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing Toronto's last five outings due to a left calf contusion. The 21-year-old forward should reclaim his starting spot from Ja'Kobe Walter.

Questionable for Thursday Dick (calf) is questionable to play Thursday versus Oklahoma City.

Impact Dick has missed five consecutive contests due to a bruised left calf, and it's unclear if he has ascended to practicing with contact.

DECEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Dick's next chance to suit up will come Sunday in a rematch against the Heat in Toronto.

NOVEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Dick (calf) won't play Monday against the Pistons, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Dick has been diagnosed with a left calf strain, but the severity is unclear. He left Sunday's game early with what was described as soreness, but now there's a bit more clarity. With Dick unavailable, players such as Ochai Agbaji, Davion Mitchell and Jamal Shead could step into larger roles.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves early Sunday Dick left Sunday's game against the Cavaliers erly due to left calf soreness, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Dick exited for the locker room in the fourth quarter due to a left calf injury and wasn't able to return. He concludes the game with 18 points (6-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes of play. If he is forced to miss time, Davion Mitchell will likely see an increased role.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Shooting woes from deep Thursday Dick ended with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two steals and one assist in 34 minutes during Thursday's 110-105 victory over Minnesota.

Impact Dick struggled from beyond the arc once again, and in his last four outings since scoring a career-high 32 points against the Bucks on Nov. 12 he has shot only 24.0 percent from outside. The second-year swingman has also averaged 12.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 35.3 minutes per game in that same four-game span. Dick has six games with 20-plus points thus far, though he will likely see a decrease in production with the return of Scottie Barnes.

Erupts for career-high 32 Dick contributed 32 points (7-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 14-16 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 99-85 loss to the Bucks.

Impact The second-year guard set a new career scoring high on the night, but Dick got very little help from an injury-depleted Raptors roster as only two of his teammates even scored in double digits. Dick has fired home multiple threes in nine of the last 10 games, averaging 21.7 points, 2.8 boards, 2.8 threes, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals over that stretch, but it's still not clear what his usage will look like once the likes of Scottie Barnes (orbital bone) and Immanuel Quickley (elbow) are back in action.

Impact Dick lost his shot Wednesday evening, ending a torrid streak of scoring to begin the season. Prior to Wednesday's loss, he averaged 24.8 points over a six-game span and averaged 27 points per game on the road during that period. Compared to his results this season, Dick's performance should be considered an outlier, but Immanuel Quickley's (pelvis) return will reveal how Dick will be utilized in the future.

Impact Dick will be hard to bench after a red-hot start, and it appears that he will have a firm hold as the top man at off-guard this season. The Raptors are hampered with injuries, but their trajectory will be intriguing when their first unit is completely healthy Through eight games, Dick is averaging 21.6 points, 2.3 assists, 2.6 rebounds ansd 1.3 steals.
