Fred VanVleet: Assigned to D-League

The Raptors are off the schedule until Sunday, so VanVleet will presumably suit
up in the 905’s game Friday versus the Canton Charge before rejoining the parent
club immediately thereafter. VanVleet briefly displaced Cory Joseph as the
backup point guard for two games last week, averaging 12.5 points, 3.5 assists,
3.0 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointer in 21.5 minutes, but he’s since dropped back
out of the rotation in the last two contests. VanVleet will be third on the
depth chart at point guard upon returning to the Raptors.
