Banged up. Bruised. Beaten. The All-Star Break couldn’t come at a better time for the Toronto Raptors.
Every Raptor is feeling the effects of the season. Every Raptor is playing through some pain, some discomfort. Kyle Lowry has been struggling with lower back issues. Kawhi Leonard has been resting a quad as well as dealing with a sore knee recently. Danny Green has been dealing with a sore left hand. The list goes on.
And then there is Fred VanVleet. He will be out up to five weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a partial ligament tear.
