Patterson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Patterson was able to log a full practice Saturday, but his left knee soreness remains bothersome and will keep him sidelined for a sixth-consecutive game. Jared Sullinger or DeMarre Carroll figure to draw the start at power forward with Pascal Siakam and Lucas Nogueira providing depth as well.

Patterson (knee) was a full participant in Saturday's practice, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patterson has been sidelined for five straight games and nine of the last 11 contests while battling a sore left knee, but his participation in practice suggests that a return to action could be on the table Sunday against the Suns. The Raptors will likely reevaluate Patterson during morning shootaround before reaching a final determination on his status, though Patterson would likely face a minute restriction even if cleared to suit up. Once he's back to full health, Patterson is expected to split the duties at power forward with Jared Sullinger, who made his season debut Jan. 18 following a long-term recovery from a fractured foot.

Patterson (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Patterson's absence comes as no surprise, as he was not expected to play coming into Friday's matchup. Patterson remains without a timetable to return, as the team has not provided an official update on his status. Jared Sullinger, who made his season debut earlier this week, will continue to start at power forward for as long as Patterson is out, and there is a good chance Sullinger keeps the job even when Patterson returns.

Patterson (knee) isn't expected to play Friday against the Hornets, Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Raptors haven't provided official word on Patterson's status for Friday, but it's not believed that he's resumed practicing and he was absent from the team's morning shootaround, so it doesn't sound promising that he'll be available. Prior to suffering a setback with his sore knee, Patterson had been starting at power forward, but it appears his run with the top unit could be over with Jared Sullinger (foot) making his season debut earlier this week.

Patterson (knee) will sit out Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Patterson will sit out a fourth straight game Wednesday, as he continues to work his way back from knee soreness. His next opportunity to take the court will be Friday against the Hornets, but he'll likely need to log a full practice Thursday in order to be cleared. Pascal Siakam is expected to start at power forward Wednesday, but the Raptors got some reinforcement with Jared Sullinger (foot) making his season debut.

Patterson (knee) has officially been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Patterson was considered doubtful earlier Tuesday, so this was the expected course of action all along. He'll miss a third consecutive game and should be considered highly questionable heading into the second game of the Raptors' current back-to-back set on Wednesday against the 76ers. Look for Lucas Nogueira to continue to run with the starters at power forward.

Patterson (knee) is not expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Nets, Raptors play-by-play announcer Eric Smith reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patterson has missed the last two games, as well as four of his last eight, while continuing to work back from a left knee injury. He'll test out the injury during pregame warmups Tuesday, but all indications point to him being sidelined for a third straight game. Look for Lucas Nogueira to remain in the starting lineup at power forward if Patterson is ruled out.

Patterson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patterson will be sidelined for the sixth time in eight games, as he's still experiencing some soreness with his left knee. Lucas Nogueira is set to pick up another start at power forward in his stead, but since the Knicks will be playing without 7-foot-3 power forward in Kristaps Porzingis, we could see both teams deploy small-ball units throughout the game. If that's the case, DeMarre Carroll could see more extensive action as a stretch power forward.

Patterson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

The Raptors are labeling Patterson's injury as left knee soreness, a byproduct of playing in two games following a four-game absence due to a strain of the same knee. Patterson sat out Friday's win over the Nets in order to rest and recover, but it's not known if that provided enough time for him to heal up. If Patterson is unable to go Sunday, Lucas Nogueira would likely step in to make another start at power forward.

Patterson (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Patterson is currently rehabbing a knee injury that caused him to miss four games to start the new year. He started at power forward in the team's last game against Boston, but in his absence, Lucas Nogueira could be in line to get the start in the frontcourt and will likely see extended minutes regardless.
