Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports that Toronto Raptors guard/forwardGradey Dick(knee) is out for the remainder of the 2024-25 regular season. The 21-year-old sustained a bone bruise when he hyperextended his right knee against the Orlando Magic on March 2. He missed the last 16 games due to the injury. Dick averaged 14.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 29.4 minutes across 54 outings during his second season in the NBA.


Detroit Pistons guardCade Cunningham(calf) is unavailable for Friday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors. The All-Star point guard will miss his sixth consecutive contest with a left calf contusion. With Cunningham sidelined for one more game,Dennis Schroder,Tim Hardaway Jr., andMalik Beasleyshould all continue to receive an uptick in minutes. Especially withTobias Harris(heel) also out, Schroder and Hardaway will be leaned on for more offense. Schroder finished with 15 points, seven assists, and four rebounds, while Hardaway posted 23 points (8-14 FG), three assists, and three rebounds in their last outing.


According to Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca, Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said Friday that he hopes forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) will be cleared for contact and go through a full practice next week. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since December 7 due to a right ankle sprain, but the team hasn't officially made the call to shut him down for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. However, with only four games left, he will likely be shut down officially after tonight's contest.


New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (groin) remains out on Saturday against Atlanta. He has missed the last seven games because of a pelvic contusion. But it appears McBride is inching closer to a return, with Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reporting that the 24-year-old participated in Friday's practice session. With Jalen Brunson (ankle) also close to returning, it appears McBride will head back to the bench once he's cleared to suit up. As a result, he likely won't offer much from a fantasy standpoint once he's back on the court.


New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable heading into Saturday's meeting with the Hawks. The All-Star hasn't played in nearly a month because of a sprained ankle. However, Brunson has been practicing of late, with Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reporting that the former Maverick could return on Sunday versus Phoenix if he's not cleared for action against Atlanta. With that in mind, he'll likely see a reduced workload for at least a few games once he's able to suit up. But if Brunson remains out on Saturday, Cameron Payne (ankle), who is also questionable, or Delon Wright should fill in at the one spot.
