Toronto Raptors swingman Patrick McCaw will miss Wednesday’s game against the Denver Nuggets due to knee swelling.

Pat McCaw is out for Raptors vs. Denver with knee swelling. Otherwise a clean sheet. It will be interesting to see if Powell and Lowry see the floor given trade speculation.

McCaw, 25, has appeared in five games with the Raptors this season, averaging 6.7 minutes and 1.0 point.

The guard had previously missed five games earlier this month due to the league’s health and safety protocols.

Despite being surrounded by trade rumours, Kyle Lowry and Norman Powell are set to play in Wednesday’s game.

"There's been zero discussion about either of them not playing." – Nick Nurse on the possibility of Lowry and Powell sitting out tonight.
