VanVleet (shoulder) will remain out Sunday against the Kings, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It'll be the fifth straight absence for VanVleet, who could end up missing one more additional game Monday as the Raptors finished up a road-road back-to-back set. After Monday's game, Toronto has four consecutive off days before a home date with the Pistons on Saturday.

VanVleet (shoulder) has a chance to play in Sunday's game against the Kings, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet, who's missed the past four games with a sore left shoulder, will be a questionable designation heading into Sunday's tilt with the Kings. If he's able to play, he'll likely take on his regular starting job in which he's averaged 17.6 points, 6.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.9 steals in 35.8 minutes per game this season.

VanVleet (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's tilt against the Suns, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet was downgraded to doubtful earlier in the day after originally receiving a questionable designation, so this news is relatively unsurprising. The absence will mark his third straight game missed due to left shoulder soreness. Norman Powell figures to once again be the primary beneficiary. His next chance to play will be Thursday against the Warriors.

VanVleet (shoulder) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet has missed the past two games due to left shoulder soreness, and it appears as if he'll miss a third. Assuming that's the case, Kyle Lowry and Norman Powell should start in the backcourt again.

VanVleet (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet carried a similar tag into Sunday's game against the Nuggets but ultimately sat out for a second straight game due to a sore left shoulder. Look for his status to clear up closer to tipoff Tuesday; Norman Powell would likely benefit from increased run if VanVleet is forced to miss another game.

VanVleet (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
VanVleet had been upgraded to questionable for Sunday's contest, but his sore left shoulder is apparently still presenting too much pain for him to give him it a go. With VanVleet set to miss a second straight game, Norman Powell will likely be in store for another start at shooting guard.
