Fields (head) is anticipating a return to the lineup Saturday against the Clippers, TSN.ca reports.
Fields missed the Raptors' last two games while under the league's concussion protocol, but the team's decision earlier in the day to assign rookie winger Bruno Caboclo to the D-League suggests that Fields is expected to be available Saturday. Now in the final season of his three-year, $20 million contract with the Raptors, Fields doesn't offer much utility other than occasionally spelling Terrence Ross, James Johnson or DeMar Derozan off the bench. He's averaging just 12.3 minutes per game.

Fields (head) isn't taking the court Monday at Chicago, FOX Sports 1 reports.
As Fields meanders his way through the league's concussion protocol, James Johnson will man small forward in the starting lineup. In five games prior to the injury, Fields averaged 4.8 points (on 53 percent shooting), 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 0.8 steals in 20 minutes.

Fields (head) was unable to pass concussion protocol and will not play against the Knicks on Sunday.
Fields took a hard fall against the Pistons on Friday and is apparently still feeling the effects Sunday. His next opportunity to get on the court will be against the Bulls on Monday and James Johnson will likely see more time on the court Sunday as a result.

Fields (head) left Friday's game after falling hard on his head. He received stitches to his head and will not return.
Fields had his legs taken out from under him when he leaped to block a three point attempt. He was able to walk off the court with assistance, but could have a concussion. Fields will likely receive an update at some point before the team's next game Sunday against the Knicks.

Fields left Friday's game midway through the third quarter after banging the back of his head off the court.
He leaped out to block a Pistons' three point attempt and had his legs taken out from under him, causing him to smack his head as he crashed to the floor. Fields was able to walk off the court with assistance, but a concussion is very possible given the nature of the incident. The Raptors should have a better idea of Fields' condition after the game.

Fields scored eight points (2-4 FG, 4-4 FT) with two rebounds in 21 minutes during Friday's win over the Pacers.
Having Fields in the starting lineup allows Raptors coach Dwane Casey to keep his rotations more or less intact while DeMar DeRozan (groin) is sidelined, which has helped the team play better defense over the last two games. Expect Fields to keep the gig until DeRozan returns, but don't look for much fantasy production out of him.

Fields scored four points (2-2 FG) in his surprise start against the Cavaliers on Tuesday, adding on two steals, two assists and a rebound.
Greivis Vasquez was unexpectedly moved to the bench in this game, but Fields certainly didn't shock anyone with his performance. Amir Johnson, Terrence Ross and Kyle Lowry all saw a bump in their fantasy value from the move, but Vasquez owners will want to monitor what happens in the next game. Vasquez had been a good fill-in for DeMar DeRozan, but Fields could soon become the better option if he continues to start.

Fields moved into the starting lineup Tuesday, with Greivis Vasquez shifting back to a bench role, TSN Sports reports.
Vasquez was filling in as the starter at shooting guard for the last five games with DeMar DeRozan sidelined with an adductor injury. Fields moved into the starting lineup at small forward Tuesday, with Terrence Ross shifting down to shooting guard. Lou Williams, Ross, and James Johnson are more likely to see fantasy-relevant value as a result of the move than Fields.

Fields (illness) was active but did not play Saturday.
Fields has missed the last three games with flu-like symptoms. He had only averaged 2.7 minutes in three appearances this season before becoming ill. Fields is an expiring contract to the Raptors. It would take a series of injuries for Fields to see meaningful minutes regularly.

Fields (illness) will play Saturday against the Jazz, the Toronto Star reports.
The 26-year-old has evidently kicked the flu bug, as coach Dwane Casey announced that Fields will return following a two-game absence. He won't be an option for fantasy purposes, however, having played a total of eight minutes in three games so far this season.
