Fred VanVleet Says He Won't Play in Game 5 Against the 76ers

Raptors guard Fred VanVleet told reporters that he will not play in Game 5 against the 76ers on Monday after he suffered a left hip strain in Game 4.

With just five minutes left in the first half of Saturday’s 110–102 win over Philadelphia, VanVleet left the game and did not return after he suffered the injury. The point guard seemingly knew it was serious because he ripped his jersey in half as he walked off the court and back to the locker room.

VanVleet finished the game with five points, three assists and two rebounds in 15 minutes of action.
