VanVleet (knee) will miss a third straight game Thursday against Detroit, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The point guard continues to deal with knee soreness, and he'll be held out for the fifth time in the last nine games. Expect Malachi Flynn to make another start in VanVleet's place. With the Raptors entering a back-to-back set, it's very possible VanVleet could extend his streak of absences to four games Friday against Orlando.
