VanVleet (hip) is out for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet still hasn't been removed from Toronto's injury report, so he could still have to wait for an opportunity to serve his one-game suspension. On a positive note for the Raptors, Kyle Lowry (foot) is questionable after having missed Thursday's game.

VanVleet (hip) has been suspended one game for his role in Tuesday's altercation with the Lakers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet was barely involved with the altercation itself, but he left the team's bench, which triggers an automatic one-game suspension. The guard was already ruled out of Thursday's game with a hip injury, so he'll likely have to serve the suspension over the weekend once he's removed from the injury report. The Raptors play Saturday in Cleveland before finishing out Week 16 with a Sunday night matchup against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

VanVleet (hip) is out Thursday against the Bulls, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet will miss a third straight game Thursday as he continues to deal with a hip injury. With Kyle Lowry (foot) out as well, the Raptors will likely continue to start DeAndre' Bembry and Gary Trent in the backcourt.

VanVleet (hip) will not play Tuesday against the Lakers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet will miss his second game in a row while he deals with a hip flexor injury. Malachi Flynn and and DeAndre' Bembry should see increased roles once again as the team is extremely thin in the backcourt.

VanVleet (hip) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Wizards, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old will sit out Monday's contest after suffering the hip flexor injury Friday versus Golden State. Malachi Flynn is expected to enter the starting lineup Monday for Toronto. VanVleet's status for the second half of the back-to-back set Tuesday is also up in the air.

VanVleet (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old picked up the injury Friday against the Warriors, and his status remains in question for the front half of the back-to-back set Monday. Gary Trent and Malachi Flynn likely will have increased roles should VanVleet be unable to face Washington.

VanVleet will not return to Friday's matchup with the Warriors due to a strained right hip flexer, per the Raptors' television broadcast.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet recorded seven points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one block across 17 minutes before exiting the game. The severity of his injury is unknown at this time, but he will have two days to rest before Monday's matchup with the Wizards. Malachi Flynn and the recently acquired Gary Trent will presumably be in line for bigger roles should VanVleet have to miss any more time.

VanVleet mustered 18 points (5-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven assists, five steals, four blocks and four rebounds across 39 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet had a rough night from the field, but he had an excellent performance in other categories since he filled the stat sheet admirably. There's a chance this was nothing more than just a bump on the road for VanVleet, though, as he was coming off putting up 20 or more points in five of his previous six games before Wednesday's tilt.

VanVleet recorded 22 points (7-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds and an assist across 33 minutes in Monday's 118-104 loss to the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet is doing all he can as the Raptors slide into another string of losses. Even though the Raptors are mostly healthy, they are still acclimating after the Norman Powell trade. Gary Trent needs more time to gel with the team, so for now, VanVleet is carrying a heavy load. Under the circumstances, he's playing exceedingly well. Although he missed five games in early March, he's been productive the remainder of the month, with an average of 20.3 points, 4.5 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals over eight games played.
