Fred VanVleet (back) ruled out again for Raptors on Friday
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet will not play Friday in the team's game against the Phoenix Suns.
What It Means:
There was hope that VanVleet would be able to return to the court following a one-game absence due to lower back stiffness. However, he will remain sidelined for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Expect Christian Koloko to see another start.
In 28 games this season, VanVleet is averaging 18.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 36.9 FanDuel points.
