Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet will not be in the lineup when the team opens a four-game road trip in Denver against the Nuggets Thursday.
According to the latest injury report, VanVleet will miss the game due to injury recovery for his left hip. VanVleet missed seven games earlier in the month with the issue.
Forwards Chris Boucher and Paul Watson, as well as guard Gary Trent Jr., will also be unavailable for the game. However, guard Jalen Harris will return to the lineup after missing a month with a hip pointer.
The Raptors enter the game with a 26-36 record, tied with the Chicago Bulls for 11th in the Eastern Conference and two games back of the Washington Wizards for the final spot in the play-in tournament.
You can watch the Raptors take on the Nuggets on Sportsnet ONE beginning at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT.
