VanVleet (groin) will not play in Wednesday's game against Memphis and will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet's next opportunity to take the court will come Feb. 22 against New Orleans. The 29-year-old is dealing with a left adductor strain, which has resulted in Amen Thompson and Aaron Holiday receiving increased usage. VanVleet had missed just two contests prior to his ongoing absence, and he's on track for his third consecutive campaign of at least 65 games played, with the All-Star break coming at an opportune time for him to heal.

VanVleet (thigh) is expected to be out for another week, with Toronto's matchup against Memphis on Jan. 14 a potential return date, Matt Thomas of SportsTalk 790 reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet has already been ruled out from Tuesday's contest against Indiana due to a left adductor strain and is now expected to miss extended time. Amen Thompson, Aaron Holiday and Cam Whitmore are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Toronto's matchup with Memphis comes right before the All-Star Break, so the Raptors could opt to hold VanVleet out to give him more time to recover.

VanVleet has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pacers due to a left adductor strain, and he's without a clear timeline for a return, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Depending on the severity, this injury could keep VanVleet out for weeks, but he'll be considered day-to-day until the team releases an update. In VanVleet's absence, Cam Whitmore, Amen Thompson and Aaron Holiday could see increased run, but Jalen Green would presumably take over as the primary playmaker out of the backcourt.

VanVleet logged 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist, four blocks and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 111-90 loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet is in the midst of his worst stretch of the season. The Rockets are 2-3 over their past five games, and VanVleet has shot 39.1 percent from the field in that stretch with averages of 10.6 points, 6.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers.

VanVleet closed Friday's 138-104 victory over the Hornets with 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists, six blocks and one steal over 30 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The 6-foot guard out of Wichita State continues to play like a defensive big man as of late and has recorded three or more blocks in each of his last three appearances. He hasn't been as productive from a scoring standpoint lately, and his three assists Friday were his lowest output since Dec. 23 against the Pelicans, but VanVleet continues to make an impact outside of the scoring column. He's averaging 16.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.0 steals over 35.4 minutes per game in January.

VanVleet closed with 18 points (8-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and three steals across 46 minutes during Wednesday's 137-131 overtime loss to Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Despite being listed at 6-foot-0, VanVleet has now registered three blocks in back-to-back contests. His efficiency from three-point range is of some concern, as he's shot just 20 percent from beyond the arc over his last two games. VanVleet is averaging 16.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals over 35.8 minutes per game in January.

VanVleet (back) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet will return to action Wednesday after missing Houston's previous contest with lower-back soreness. The 29-year-old point guard is averaging 15.0 points, 8.6 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 34.8 minutes across his last five appearances.

Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said VanVleet (back) practiced Tuesday and is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Coty M. Davis of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet missed just his second game of the season in Sunday's loss to the Celtics due to lower-back soreness, but his ability to practice Tuesday suggests that he won't be in store for further absences. The Rockets will release their updated injury report later Tuesday, when it will be known whether VanVleet carries a designation into Wednesday's contest or is cleared in advance of game day.

VanVleet has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Boston due to lower-back tightness.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet logged a full 34-minute workload in Saturday's overtime win over Utah and wasn't known to be nursing an injury, but he'll nonetheless sit out for just the second time all season Sunday in the second leg of a back-to-back set. He joins an injury-riddled cast of Rockets, including Jabari Smith (ankle), Tari Eason (lower leg), Jeff Green (calf) and Reggie Bullock (back), so Aaron Holiday, Cam Whitmore, Amen Thompson and Jae'Sean Tate are all poised to take on heightened roles out of the backcourt and on the wing.s

VanVleet contributed 18 points (8-19 FG, 2-10 3Pt), five rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal across 34 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 127-126 overtime win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet's path to points marked an inverse of his typical production, as he entered Saturday's contest canning 39.4 percent of 7.9 threes per game while simultaneously grading as the worst rim finisher (39.0 percent) in the league among all players with at least 100 shots of the basket. Unique scoring performance aside, the 29-year-old continued an excellent streak of facilitation that has led to a 53:6 AST:TO over his last six games.
