Raptors List Bruce Brown As Out
2 months agoThe Toronto Raptors are listing guard Bruce Brown (knee) as out for Tuesday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans. After missing Sunday's win over the Charlotte Hornets, Brown remains unavailable on Tuesday due to inflammation in his right knee. Over Brown's last 13 showings, the 27-year-old combo guard is averaging 7.2 points on 39.8% shooting from the field, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 23.7 minutes contest and sits outside the top 250 in nine-category fantasy leagues across this span. Brown's next chance to return to the floor comes on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. Since Jakob Poeltl (finger) is also out, Kelly Olynyk will be needed to start at the five, clearing the way for Gradey Dick to function as Toronto’s defined sixth man. Over Dick’s last 12 performances, the first-round rookie is averaging 12.2 points and 2.4 threes while shooting a scorching 51.8% from deep and gets a New Orleans team that’s yielding the seventh-most threes per game (13.4) this year.
