The Toronto Raptors will have to survive the next stretch of the season without one of their key offensive pieces.
Wing Gradey Dick has suffered a hyperextended right knee, resulting in bone bruises, and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, the team announced Tuesday.
It's worth noting that the Raptors originally ruled out the sophomore for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic with a different injury designation. Dick was previously listed to be out with an ischial tuberosity (pelvis) contusion.
The guard exited just before halftime Sunday in the Raptors' 104-102 win over the Magic on Sunday.
Dick took a hard spill in the final minute of the first half after a falling RJ Barrett collided with Magic guard Cole Anthony, who then fell into the 22-year-old Raptors guard. He stayed down for a bit and was tended to by team staff before getting up and walking to the locker rooms on his own accord.
After the game, head coach Darko Rajakovic told reporters that the second-year wing had passed concussion protocol but had suffered some hyperextension on his knee, a "sit-bone contusion," and a split lip.
Dick is averaging 14.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists through 54 games played this season. He's also shooting 35 per cent from beyond the arc.
