Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet and centre Khem Birch will not play in Friday night's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks, the team announced.
VanVleet had been struggling with lower-back stiffness and missed his team's last two games.
Meanwhile Birch is dealing with right knee soreness which he picked up during the Raptors' 143-100 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Nov. 2.
Forwards Justin Champagnie and Ron Harper Jr. will not be on the court as they have been assigned G League affiliate Raptors 905.
