Toronto Raptors guard Gradey Dick (calf) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Dick is set to return to the court after missing each of the last five games due to a left calf contusion. He's back for Thursday and fantasy managers should expect him to have a full workload considering there was no mention of Dick being limited. Ja'Kobe Walker should head back to the bench and Davion Mitchell should lose minutes with Dick ready to play again.
According to Aaron Rose of SI.com, Toronto Raptors guard Gradey Dick (calf) will not suit up against the Pacers on Tuesday. Before suffering a left calf contusion, the 21-year-old averaged 18.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 2.3 three-pointers in over 32 minutes per contest. In Dick's absence, Ja'Kobe Walter will likely start once again, as he's made an impression by posting 12 points and three rebounds in 17 minutes against Miami on Sunday.
Gradey Dick Is Questionable Tuesday Against The Pacers
Raptors guard Gradey Dick (calf) was able to participate in practice on Monday and could be ready to return from a four-game absence on Tuesday as the Raptors welcome in Indiana in an NBA Emirates Cup matchup that will have no impact since both teams have already been eliminated from advancing. Dick is averaging 18.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 2.3 three-pointers in over 32 minutes per game so far this season. Ja'Kobe Walter has started the last three games in his place and made a great impression. Dick will likely return to the lineup when healthy, but Walter could remain involved off the bench.
Toronto Raptors guard Gradey Dick will miss a third straight contest as he continues to deal with a left calf contusion. Before suffering the injury, he was starting to get more and more playing time over the last eight games with 34.5 minutes per contest. In his place, Ja'Kobe Walter has taken over the starting spot while Jamal Shead and Jamison Battle have received some added opportunities off of the bench. Ochai Agbaji has also taken on a bigger role in the offense with Dick on the sidelines.
Gradey Dick Won't Play Wednesday Against New Orleans
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gradey Dick (calf) will not play Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Dick will miss his second consecutive contest due to a left calf strain. He left Sunday's game with soreness in his calf after posting 18 points in 31 minutes in a 122-108 loss to Cleveland. Guard Davion Mitchell started in place of Dick on Monday against Detroit, and he will likely remain in the starting five Wednesday.
According to Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca, Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gradey Dick (calf) will not play Monday against the Detroit Pistons. Dick was diagnosed with a left calf strain after leaving Sunday's contest due to soreness. He had posted 18 points in 31 minutes against the Cavs before retiring to the locker room. With the 21-year-old out, players like Davion Mitchell, Ochai Agbaji, and Jamal Shead will likely see an uptick in minutes on the floor.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gradey Dick suffered a groin contusion in Sunday's meeting with Washington, exiting the game after logging 25 minutes of action. Dick was back on the bench Sunday but still performed well, posting 13 points and four rebounds with 3-for-5 shooting from deep. The 20-year-old rookie has been ever-present for Toronto since Jan. 20 but might now need to have some time off to recover. Bruce Brown and Ochai Agbaji should share most of Dick's minutes if he isn't in the lineup on Tuesday against Indiana. This will be a juicy fantasy matchup, as two up-tempo teams go head-to-head.
Toronto Raptors shooting guard Gradey Dick (thumb) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Miami. The rookie has sprained his right thumb. Dick was a high draft pick in the summer but hasn't made much of an impact for the Raptors during his first year in the league. He's seen the court in just 20 games, averaging 12.4 minutes. Dick's woeful shooting has held him back big time, as he boasts a miserable 28.2 shot percentage from the field and has hit only 23.9 percent of his attempts from downtown.
Gradey Dick Has His Best Summer League Performance Wednesday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gradey Dick was finally able to string together a complete performance in his third Summer League outing Wednesday versus Detroit, leading all scorers with 22 points and notching seven rebounds, three assists, and one steal. Dick has struggled to score the basketball in the Summer League and had some efficiency issues against the Pistons as well, but he mostly hurt his shooting numbers with a 2-for-10 performance from behind the arc. The 19-year-old was 6-for-9 with his two-point efforts. The 13th pick of this year's draft has shown that he can help the Raptors in multiple ways, having averaged 14.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.3 steals in the Summer League.
