McCaw has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons due to the NBA's health and safety protocols, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old is one of five Toronto players sidelined for Wednesday's contest due to the COVID-19 protocols, and the group is also expected to miss Thursday's contest at Boston, per Blake Murphy of The Athletic. McCaw has played 19 total minutes in three appearances since returning to action Feb. 19, so his absence will affect the Raptors depth more than anything.

McCaw (knee) logged seven minutes off the bench Friday in the Raptors' 86-81 win over the Timberwolves, finishing with one assist and no other statistics.

EDGE Analysis

McCaw had been sidelined all season while rehabbing from knee surgery, but the Raptors surprisingly upgraded him from "out" to "probable" ahead of Friday's contest. He ultimately got the chance to play some light minutes off the bench in what marked his first competitive action of any kind since March 2020. Since McCaw first required a procedure on his left knee in November 2019 before having the follow-up surgery at some point last summer, expect head coach Nick Nurse to use the swingman judiciously over the next few weeks, particularly during back-to-back sets. The fact that McCaw was able to get some minutes in a close game at least suggests that he'll be in consideration for a regular spot in Nurse's rotation.

McCaw (knee) will be available in Friday's matchup with the Timberwolves, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCaw has yet to play this season, so he will be making his debut Friday. With Kyle Lowry (ankle) sidelined, the 25-year-old could potentially see some time in the rotation right away.

McCaw (knee) is probable for Friday's game at Minnesota, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old has yet to play this season while recovering from knee surgery, but he's expected to be available for his season debut Friday. McCaw averaged 4.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 24.5 minutes over 37 appearances last season, but he figures to have a limited role as he comes off an extended absence.

McCaw (knee) won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

McCaw is still rehabilitating his surgically repaired left knee and remains without a clear timeline for his 2020-21 debut. Unless the Raptors indicate within the next week or two that McCaw has been cleared for full practice, there's a high likelihood that he'll remain sidelined through the All-Star break.

McCaw (knee) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCaw's season debut continues to be delayed as he is still recovering from a knee injury that has nagged him since November 2019. Coach Nick Nurse hasn't given any timetable for the 25-year-old's return, so a return may not be imminent. McCaw likely won't factor in as a heavy rotation piece when he finally gets healthy.

Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said Monday that McCaw (knee) continues to progress slowly from surgery and remains without a clear timeline to make his season debut, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCaw's left knee has nagged him throughout most of his tenure with the Raptors, as the 25-year-old first underwent surgery in November 2019 to remove a benign mass. He then required a follow-up procedure at some point prior to the 2019-20 season restart in late July, and he's been nothing more than a limited participant in practice since the Raptors reconvened for training camp. At this stage, Nurse's comments would seem to point to McCaw being week-to-week rather than day-to-day.

McCaw (knee) is out Sunday against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

McCaw has yet to play this season while recovering from knee surgery. He should be considered day-to-day.

McCaw (knee) is out Friday against the Kings, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Coach Nick Nurse said McCaw (knee) didn't travel for Tuesday's game at Philadelphia and is "a few days away from being day-to-day," Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old is progressing in his recovery from surgery to remove a benign mass from his knee, but he remains without a clear timetable for his return. If all goes well, McCaw could seemingly be ready to play in early or mid-January, but there's no firm timetable.
