With VanVleet and Flynn testing positive, Toronto has five players in the league’s protocols. At point guard, the Raptors will have to lean on David Johnson, Brandon Goodwin, and Tremont Waters for Wednesday’s game against the Bulls, assuming it’s not postponed. VanVleet’s 37.9 minutes per game leads the NBA, and his 20.1 points and 6.7 assists lead the Raptors. This season, Flynn is averaging 3.2 points per game and 0.9 assists. Raptors shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. is also under COVID-19 protocols, reportedly leading Toronto to potential sign Canadian Nik Stauskas.
