Patrick Patterson will not play Friday in Toronto

Toronto Raptors forward Patrick Patterson (knee) will not play Friday against the Brooklyn Nets.

What It Means:

He returned to the court on Tuesday but went scoreless in 21 minutes and did not look good. Dwane Casey says holding him out tonight is just precautionary, but it will likely be Lucas Nogueira getting the biggest bump without Patterson.

Our models project Nogueira for 6.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 26.3 minutes Friday against the Nets.
