Fred VanVleet will miss at least three weeks with a thumb injury.
ESPN’s NBA reporter Adrian Wojnarowski first reported that VanVleet will wear a splint for three weeks before the Toronto Raptors re-evaluate his condition. The All-American turned NBA rotation player suffered a torn ligament in his left thumb, Wojnarowski said.
VanVleet scored a career-high 30 points for the Raptors this last week.
