The Toronto Raptors are missing a few key players for their matchup with the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, as Fred VanVleet, Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol remain out with various injuries.
Gasol, dealing with a left hamstring injury, hasn’t played since Jan. 28.
VanVleet (left shoulder soreness) and Ibaka (right knee soreness) will both miss their third consecutive game.
Ibaka has enjoyed one of the best seasons of his career, averaging a career-best 15.9 points to go with 8.0 rebounds per game. VanVleet, meanwhile, is averaging 17.6 points and 6.6 assists per game.
In light of the injuries, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will make his sixth start of the season and Norman Powell will start for the 20th time.
