He we never play for Raptors again: Fred VanVleet has been…

Raptors was given a 12-game suspension by the NBA, which was lifted on Saturday night after he struck Phoenix Suns center Fred VanVleet on December 12, 2023. The NBA said that Green fulfilled league-mandated actions to show his dedication to abiding by league conduct.

For the Warriors’ upcoming Sunday night 8:30 p.m. ET game against the Toronto Raptors, Green is finally allowed to return to the bench. But Green won’t be able to participate because the Warriors have declared him out due to conditioning issues. It is anticipated that the 33-year-old will require several days to recuperate and resume playing before hitting the court again.

Chris Paul and Gary Payton II, who have all been ruled out, join him. Meanwhile, Jonathan Kuminga is doubtful due to an injury in his toe.

Regarding the Raptors, Gary Trent Jr. is technically classified as questionable, although he should be back after missing one game. On Saturday, he worked out with the club, Michael Grange of Sportsnet reported.

In his first game back with the Warriors since he and Golden State captured the 2022 NBA Championship, Otto Porter Jr. will be out. He will receive his title ring before to tipoff Sunday.

Christian Koloko is still sidelined for Toronto due to persistent respiratory problems.

In the event that Trent is given the all-clear to play on Sunday, Jalen McDaniels should expect to return to the bench. Dennis Schröder and Trent will presumably handle the backcourt duties, leaving Chris Boucher and Jontay Porter as Toronto’s two bigs off the bench.
