Gary Trent Jr. DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. (elbow) didn't practice on Tuesday. However, head coach Doc Rivers said the former Raptor might play in Thursday's preseason matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Even if he doesn't, Rivers added that Trent didn't need an MRI on the hyperextended left elbow he sustained in Sunday's loss to the Pistons and will "be fine." The 25-year-old is coming off a down season, averaging 13.7 points. With that in mind, Trent is capable of starting or coming off the bench, so he'll likely see more than enough minutes on a Milwaukee team that lacks depth, meaning he should have more than a handful of potent fantasy showings this season.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. (elbow) left Sunday's preseason game with an elbow injury after 13 minutes of playing time. Trent looked to be in a lot of pain as he was escorted to the locker room, and the team confirmed that it was a hyperextension. A timetable for his return hasn't come out just yet as they're likely still running some tests and seeing how he feels, but a hyperextension could force a few weeks of missed time. Trent just joined the Bucks over the offseason to essentially replace Malik Beasley, so his status will be important when the beginning of the season rolls around.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (back) is set to rejoin the action on Friday against Miami. He'll return to the lineup after missing one game with back spasms. Gradey Dick will likely be pushed to the bench by Trent Jr.'s return, although he should still have a big part to play in the rotation. April has gone well for Trent Jr. so far, as he's averaged 22.3 points with 5.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists. However, he finds himself in an uncomfortable matchup on Friday against a Heat squad that's strong defensively.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (back) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Friday's encounter with Miami. He also carried the designation on Wednesday due to back spasms prior to a meeting with Brooklyn, and Trent Jr. ended up missing the game. The Raptors have nothing left to play for, which could be affecting the team's lineup choices for the final few regular-season games. Youngsters Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji have gotten a lot of burn in recent times to aid their development, and they should be in big roles again on Friday if the team can't get any of its injured guys back.

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's contest versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He is still dealing with back spasms and is in danger of missing a third consecutive game. Trent surprisingly missed Wednesday's game after he was initially not on the injury report. With only 23 wins on the season, the Raptors do not have much urgency to rush him back onto the court if he is not completely healthy. If he is unable to play, more minutes will likely go to Immanuel Quickley and Javon Freeman-Liberty.
