Raptors’ guard VanVleet sits Game 4, doesn’t sound like a return is imminent
WASHINGTON — Fred VanVleet doesn’t sound like he’ll be ready to return to the Toronto Raptors’ lineup any time soon.
The backup guard reportedly suffered a sprained AC joint — or separated shoulder — in the Raptors’ season finale against Miami, when he ran into Bam Adebayo when the Heat’s big man was setting a screen.
The Raptors have listed him as day to day, and he wasn’t in the lineup in Sunday’s Game 4 in Washington.
Part of the concern, VanVleet said, is the risk of re-injury, should he take a hard hit.
