VanVleet and DJ Wilson are both out vs. Nets (knee in each case).

“There’s a slight fracture … he’s been playing with it for quite sometime.” – Nurse on OG. He is out for game vs. Nets. Says he could return to play, but could fully heal in two weeks, so might wait for that. It’s all under discussion.

VanVleet (right knee soreness) and Anunoby (right ring finger fracture) were declared out on Tuesday night for the game in Toronto after being listed as questionable earlier in the day.

The Raptors beat the Nets 133-97 without both players on Monday in Brooklyn.

D.J. Wilson (left knee soreness) also will be out for the Raptors.
