Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet won't be in the lineup Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks due to lower back stiffness.
VanVleet is averaging 38.0 minutes, 13.3 points, 7.7 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game this season.
Rookie Christian Koloko will get another start with VanVleet sidelined.
The 28-year-old from Rockford, Ill., was looking to rebound from one of the worst games of his career after recording just one point and shooting 0-for-11 from the field during Friday's 112-90 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Watch the Raptors take on the Hawks starting at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT on Sportsnet ONE or Sportsnet NOW.
