Trent contributed 19 points (6-19 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 6-9 FT), one rebound, three assists and three steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 112-98 loss to the Nets.
Trent didn't show any signs of rust despite missing three games due to a hip injury and an illness, and he was one of Toronto's most productive players in a game where the team looked overmatched. Trent has been a consistent scoring alternative for the Raptors, but his recent numbers have not looked very good, and he's reached the 15-point mark just twice across his last seven games.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Sitting out Saturday
Rotowire
Trent (hip) won't make the trip to Atlanta for Saturday's game against the Hawks due to a non-COVID illness, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
Trent had already been ruled out for Saturday's contest, but it sounds like he won't travel more because of an illness rather than hip soreness. Regardless, the Raptors will be pretty shorthanded against the Hawks, so Malachi Flynn and Scottie Barnes figure to see plenty of playing time in the backcourt, as should Fred VanVleet.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Tabbed as questionable Wednesday
Rotowire
Trent (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Heat, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
Trent at least seems to have a chance to suit up for this one after being ruled out right away ahead of Monday's clash. Dalano Banton got a look with the starting unit in his absence Monday and would likely get another shot with the unit if Trent remains sidelined.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Ruled out Monday
Rotowire
Trent has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pistons due to right hip soreness, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
Trent was held to a season-low six points in 19 minutes during Saturday's loss to Indiana, and he's now dealing with a hip issue that will force him to miss his first game of the season. His absence leaves the Raptors particularly shorthanded in the backcourt, as Fred VanVleet (illness) had already been ruled out for Monday's game.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Solid game in loss
Rotowire
Trent finished with 19 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 111-97 loss to the Bulls.
Trent had a great fantasy stat line Monday night. He had a season-high three steals, and it was only the second time all season that he recorded both a steal and a block in the same game. The former Duke Blue Devil also found his shot again after struggling a bit over the last couple games.

Rotowire
Trent finished with 12 points (3-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 111-110 loss to the Mavericks.
Trent was inefficient and unimpactful in Friday's loss, marking the second occasion this season in which he failed to log a rebound or assist. Friday also marked the first game this season where Trent could not hit multiple three-point tries.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Scores 24 points in 26 minutes
Rotowire
Trent supplied 24 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 143-100 win over San Antonio.
Trent was on fire in the win, scoring at least 20 points for the third time in his last four games, continuing what has been a strong start to the season. After a breakout campaign in 2021-22, Trent actually slipped down draft boards this season with many viewing his production as somewhat of an outlier. Across the first eight games, he has managed to alleviate some of those concerns, averaging 20.0 points, 3.3 triples and 1.4 steals. As long as he can maintain adequate production in those three categories, he should remain inside the top 80 moving forward.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Shines as scorer
Rotowire
Trent ended with 27 points (11-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt) and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 victory over the 76ers.
Trent thrived as a scoring threat and was very efficient for a guard, but he barely contributed in other categories. Even though most of his value will eventually be related to what he can do scoring the rock, it'd be nice to see him contributing in other categories on a steady basis as well. He's yet to record at least three assists or three steals in a single game, and he hasn't grabbed more than one rebound since he pulled down five boards in the season opener.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Pours in 23 points Saturday
Rotowire
Trent racked up 23 points (7-18 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Saturday's 112-109 loss to Miami.
Trent tied with Pascal Siakam for the team lead in scoring in the contest thanks largely to a 5-for-12 mark from three-point range. As usual, he didn't do much as a rebounder or passer but did supply a pair of thefts and a blocked shot. Trent's fantasy value is tempered by his limited skill set, but few players are more prolific from beyond the arc.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Drops 19 in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Trent totaled 19 points (5-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 108-105 win over Cleveland.
The Toronto offense struggled early but caught fire late, with Trent's long-range shooting proving to be clutch down the stretch. He led the Raptors with four made three-pointers, building on his impressive first full season with the club in 2021-22 that saw him average career highs with 18.3 points and 3.0 threes per game.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Says he'll play Wednesday
Rotowire
Trent (upper leg), who was sidelined for the Raptors' preseason finale Friday due to IT band tightness, says he'll be good to go for Wednesday's regular season opener against the Cavaliers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Trent suffered the injury during an exhibition against Chicago and was sidelined for an additional contest, but it doesn't seem like the issue is too serious. During his first full season with Toronto, Trent posted 18.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 35.0 minutes per game. He figures to garner a similar role during the 2022-23 campaign.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Trent has been ruled out for Friday's preseason finale against the Celtics due to right IT band tightness, Kayla Grey of TSN reports.
Per Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca, Trent suffered the injury during Sunday's exhibition against the Bulls and has been held out of practice since. There was hope that the shooting guard would be available for the preseason finale, which suggests the issue isn't too severe. Regardless, it's certainly a concerning development for Trent with the regular season less than a week away.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Drops 17 points Sunday
Rotowire
Trent tallied 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 29 minutes in a 115-98 loss to Chicago on Sunday.
Trent had a productive first half, making all five of his shot attempts and scoring 15 of his 17 points while playing 20 minutes. It was his best performance of the preseason and the first time he exceeded 10 points. He's shooting 51.6 percent from the field and is 9-for-10 from the free-throw line in four preseason games.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Serviceable effort in loss
Rotowire
Trent closed with 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two steals and one assist in 26 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to Houston.
Trent was far from spectacular but managed to rack up a pair of steals in the loss, an element of his game that he will need to maintain should he hope to repeat his efforts from last season. Currently entrenched as a starter, his overall game is built on his ability to score from the perimeter and his defense. While he is a viable target in the mid-to-late rounds, there is very little margin for error when it comes to maintaining said value.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Drops 19 in season-ending loss
Rotowire
Trent notched 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and two assists in 40 minutes during Thursday's 132-97 loss to the 76ers.
The fourth-year guard bounced back from an illness that limited him in the first two games of the series, averaging 16.8 points, 2.4 boards, 2.2 threes, 2.1 assists and 1.7 steals over the final four contests against Philadelphia. Trent has become an effective backcourt complement to the Raptors' parade of long, athletic forwards, and next season he'll look to top the career-high 18.3 points and 3.0 three-pointers he recorded in 2021-22.
