VanVleet suffered the injury in the third quarter of Toronto's historic win over the Golden State Warriors on Friday. While he left the game and did not return, he reportedly told Raptors head coach Nick Nurse afterwards that he was alright.

VanVleet is Toronto's second-leading scorer this season with 19.8 points per game on 39.3 percent shooting from the field and 37.1 percent from 3-point range. He's also averaging 6.1 assists, 4.2 rebounds and a team-high 1.7 steals per game.

VanVleet has missed a total of five games this season. The Raptors went 0-5 in those games.

In addition to VanVleet being questionable for Monday's game, Jalen Harris (right hip), Rodney Hood (right hip), Kyle Lowry (right foot), Patrick McCaw (left knee) and Paul Watson (health and safety protocols) have each been ruled out.
