Raptors' Fred VanVleet: Likely won't have offseason surgery
VanVleet (hip/knee) told reporters Friday that he believes his lingering injuries from the season will be resolved "fairly quickly" with some rest and treatment, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
VanVleet suffered a bruised knee just before the All-Star break and injured his hip during Game 4 of the opening-round matchup with the 76ers, which ultimately sidelined him for the Raptors' final two games of the 2021-22 campaign. However, according to the point guard, neither injury is expected to limit his summer in any way, suggesting he won't need offseason surgery. VanVleet finished his sixth season in the NBA with averages of 20.3 points, 6.7 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 37.9 minutes per game -- all career highs.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Drops 19 in season-ending loss
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.

Raptors' Pascal Siakam: Strong showing in Game 6
Siakam fouled out of Thursday's 132-97 loss to the 76ers after recording 24 points (9-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 44 minutes.
It was another big performance by Siakam as he tried to keep the Raptors' season alive, but the team's defense couldn't slow down the Sixers. The 28-year-old averaged 22.8 points, 7.2 boards, 5.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks over six games in the first round, and he'll remain a key piece for the Raptors next season as they look to return to the top of the Eastern Conference.

Raptors' Chris Boucher: Big double-double in Game 6
Boucher amassed 25 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 32 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 132-97 loss to Philadelphia.
He led the Raptors in scoring, but the team's defense let them down as they bowed out of the postseason. The double-double was Boucher's only one in six playoff games this year, and he averaged 11.2 points, 5.8 boards, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 threes in 21.7 minutes against Philadelphia, albeit while shooting an impressive 61.9 percent from the floor. Boucher is an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

Raptors' Fred VanVleet: Officially out for Game 6
VanVleet (hip) has been ruled out of Thursday's Game 6 against the 76ers, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
VanVleet was doubtful coming in, so there was never much belief that he'd be able to suit up as the Raptors look to force a Game 7. That game would take place Saturday, so if Toronto is able to get a victory Thursday, VanVleet should be considered optimistically questionable for Game 7. With VanVleet sidelined for Game 5, the Raptors rolled with Gary Trent, Scottie Barnes, OG Anunoby, Pascal Siakam and Khem Birch as the starting five.

Raptors' Fred VanVleet: Listed doubtful for Game 6
VanVleet (hip) is considered doubtful for Thursday's Game 6 against the 76ers, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
A strained left hip kept VanVleet out of Game 5 on Monday, and it looks like he's headed toward a second straight absence as the Raptors seek their third straight victory. Toronto has very little reliable depth at guard, so if VanVleet does remain out, look for Toronto to again lean heavily on Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, Scottie Barnes and Gary Trent -- all of whom played at least 39 minutes in Game 5. The Raptors rolled with Khem Birch as the fifth starter, while Precious Achiuwa (27 minutes) also saw increased time off the bench.

Anunoby amassed 16 points (7-15 FG, 2-9 3PT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 39 minutes in Monday's 103-88 win over Philadelphia.
Anunoby's all-around effort helped Toronto keep their playoff run alive. The Indiana product is putting up 19.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists on 49.1 percent shooting from the field and 35.6 percent from deep in the series.

Raptors' Precious Achiuwa: Approaches double-double off bench
Achiuwa contributed 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-5 3PT, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and three blocks across 27 minutes during Monday's 103-88 win over Philadelphia.
Achiuwa got things done on both ends of the floor. The second-year forward eclipsed 17-plus points for the second time in the last three games and recorded his second-highest block total of the season.
