(Philadelphia) The Toronto Raptors will not be able to count on the services of star guard Fred VanVleet for the fifth game of their series against the 76ers from Philadelphia on Monday night.
Posted at 11:19 a.m.
VanVleet is injured in a flexor muscle in his left leg.
The Raptors are down 3-1 in this first-round series.
VanVleet played less than 15 minutes in the Raptors’ 110-102 victory on Saturday, limping off the court and tearing his singlet in a gesture of frustration.
He averaged 20.3 points, 6.7 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game this season, which allowed him to be named an all-star for the first time in his career. .
