VanVleet (knee) didn't participate in morning shootaround and remains questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet sustained a knee injury in Monday's loss to the Pelicans. Though a follow-up MRI returned clean, VanVleet's sore knee has his status in flux heading into the Raptors' final game before the All-Star break. Dalano Banton and Malachi Flynn should see increased roles if VanVleet is unavailable.

VanVleet (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet exited Monday's loss to the Pelicans early after injuring his right knee, and now the guard may miss another matchup due to injury. The sharpshooter previously dealt with a groin problem before suffering knee soreness in Monday's outing. If VanVleet is ultimately ruled out, Dalano Banton and Scottie Barnes are candidates to see increase run against the Timberwolves.

VanVleet won't return to Monday's game against New Orleans due to right knee soreness, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports. He finished with 20 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3PT, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors were already getting blown out by the time VanVleet exited the contest, so it's no surprise to hear he won't return to this one. He'll be considered day-to-day leading up to Wednesday's matchup in Minnesota.
