Toronto lists VanVleet (knee) as questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet missed two of Toronto's final four games before the All-Star break due to lower-body injuries, but head coach Nick Nurse said earlier Thursday that the veteran point guard would likely be ready to go for the Raptors' first contest of the second half. The questionable designation implies that VanVleet is less locked in to play Friday than Nurse let on, though the 27-year-old should still be in good position to suit up in Charlotte if he checks out fine following morning shootaround.
