EDGE Analysis
Dowtin is set to wear a walking boot for the next two weeks and rehab into Toronto in the offseason. There is no indication that he won't be ready for the 2023-24 campaign. Dowtin averaged 2.4 points and 1.2 assists in 10.4 minutes across 25 games for Toronto last as a two-way player.

Dowtin (not injury related) is listed as out for Friday's game versus Boston, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports
EDGE Analysis
Dowtin is one of Toronto's two-way players. Despite appearing in only 25 games, he was active for 50, which is the maximum for a two-way player in a single season. This means that Dowtin can't play any more contests for the Raptors in the regular season or playoffs, unless his contract is converted into a standard deal.

Dowtin (not injury related) won't play in Wednesday's game versus Boston, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dowtin has run out of NBA games on his two-way deal. The Raptors have until Thursday afternoon to decide if they want to convert his contract to a standard deal for the rest of the season. If Toronto opts not to, Dowtin's 2022-23 campaign will be over.

Dowtin recorded nine points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals across 29 minutes during Friday's 118-97 win over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Dowtin was given some extra run in an easy win with the Raptors missing Gary Trent (elbow), Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) and Scottie Barnes (wrist). The four assists and three steals both marked career highs for the second-year pro out of Rhode Island. He may stay in the rotation Sunday against the Wizards if the same trio of teammates remains sidelined.

Dowtin (ankle) played six minutes off the bench Wednesday in the Raptors' 118-114 loss to the Pacers, finishing with two points (1-1 FG) and no other statistics.
EDGE Analysis
Dowtin, one of Toronto's two two-way players, missed the G League Raptors 905's most recent game Tuesday against the College Park Skyhawks due to a listed right ankle injury, but he was able to play through the issue for the shorthanded NBA squad Wednesday. Toronto ruled out six players due to injury ahead of the contest, enabling Dowtin to handle a light role off the bench behind backcourt starters Fred VanVleet and Will Barton. So long as Toronto gets one of Scottie Barnes (wrist) or Gary Trent (elbow) back for Friday's game against the Pistons, Dowtin could find himself back outside of head coach Nick Nurse's rotation.

Dowtin did not play during Tuesday's 111-104 win over College Park because of an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
An injury to Dowtin's right ankle caused him to sit out the 905's latest win against College Park. It is unclear when he can return, but his next opportunity to play is against Greensboro on Friday.

Dowtin logged 24 points (10-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds, three blocks and three steals across 32 minutes during the 905's 127-108 win against the G League Ignite on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The 905 won their first three games of March. Dowtin averaged 21.3 points and 5.7 assists across the three-game span. Though those rates will worsen at least a little once Dalano Banton (thumb) returns from his injury, Dowtin's excellence is expected to continue until further notice.

Dowtin logged 21 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine assists and five rebounds across 33 minutes during the 905's 135-125 win against Fort Wayne on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
While part of the 905's roster, Dowtin is expected to be a significant scorer and their primary distributor. Currently, he is averaging 15.9 points and 6.0 assists across his 11 G League games this season.

Toronto sent Dowtin to the G League's Raptors 905 on Wednesday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dowtin was available for Tuesday's win over the Bulls, but he didn't see any playing time for the first time over Toronto's past five games. He'll head back to the G League along with Joe Wieskamp, Christian Koloko, Dalano Banton and Ron Harper.

Dowtin logged 21 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, three steals and one block across 33 minutes during the 905's 124-123 win over Westchester on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Dowtin logged one assist across his two minutes during the Toronto Raptors' 123-105 win at Portland on Jan. 28. But since then, he has been part of their G League team. Dowtin is averaging 14.1 points and 5.5 assists per game in the G League.
