VanVleet (illness) returned to practice Friday, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet missed Wednesday's game versus the Nets due to a non-COVID illness and is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks. However, his return to practice is a good sign of his availability. Malachi Flynn will likely start again Saturday if VanVleet can't play.

VanVleet has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Brooklyn due to a non-COVID illness, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet and Scottie Barnes (knee) join Pascal Siakam (groin), Precious Achiuwa (ankle) and Dalano Banton (ankle) as out, leaving Toronto extremely shorthanded against the Nets. There'll be plenty of available minutes for Toronto's reserves, but Gary Trent and OG Anunoby will likely have to emerge as the Raptors' go-to playmakers if they want to keep pace with Brooklyn's offensive firepower.

VanVleet finished with 23 points (7-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), one rebound and eight assists across 39 minutes during Wednesday's game against the Heat.

VanVleet also recorded his best assist total since Nov. 6, when he dished out 11 dimes. He's averaging 18.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 2.1 steals on 40.9 percent shooting from three over 11 games this season.

VanVleet is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet returns to the lineup after missing the last two games with a non-COVID illness. The Raptors will run a small-ball lineup Wednesday with Pascal Siakam (groin) and Precious Achiuwa (ankle) out.

VanVleet (illness) will suit up for Wednesday's game versus the Heat, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet's questionable status leading up to Wednesday's game marked a notable upgrade from the immediate out status he received before Monday's clash, so it seemed he was in better shape to take the floor in this one. VanVleet should reassume his starting duties at point guard, likely shifting Scottie Barnes back to the frontcourt while reducing Malachi Flynn's minutes.

VanVleet (illness) holds a questionable designation for Wednesday's game versus the Heat, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet's status should be updated again on game day, but it at least marks a slight upgrade from the immediate out status he received for Monday's tilt. If VanVleet can't go again, Malachi Flynn and Dalano Banton could see increased action, while Scottie Barnes may be tasked with more ball-handling duties.

VanVleet (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Pistons, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet is slated to miss back-to-back games due to a non-COVID illness. In his absence, Malachi Flynn and Dalano Banton are candidates for increased roles, but Scottie Barnes will also likely handle more playmaking duties.

Raptors coach Nick Nurse said VanVleet (illness) is out for Saturday's game versus Indiana, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet is questionable to play in Saturday's game versus the Pacers due to illness, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet is averaging 26.0 points, 5.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 34.3 minutes over his last four games. Malachi Flynn should be in line for extended minutes at point guard if VanVleet can't go Saturday.

VanVleet racked up 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Friday's 132-113 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet was coming off three impressive performances in which he scored at least 27 points, so the regression was almost expected to happen sooner rather than later. Even after this performance, VanVleet should continue to have a big role in Toronto's offensive scheme, especially while Pascal Siakam (groin) remains out. The point guard is averaging 26.0 points, 5.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds in four November contests.
