Raptors' Gradey Dick: Out at least two weeks
Rotowire
The Raptors announced Tuesday that Dick has been diagnosed with a hyperextended right knee resulting in bone bruises, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports. Dick will return to Toronto to begin rehabbing and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
In Sunday's 104-102 win over the Magic, Dick played just 16 minutes game after being forced out of the game late in the second quarter, when he was involved in a collision with Orlando's Cole Anthony that also resulted in teammate RJ Barrett falling on Dick's leg. Though follow-up testing cleared Dick of any structural damage to his knee, he'll still miss at least two weeks, and the Raptors won't be incentivized to rush him back to the court after that while the team remains out of the mix for a playoff spot. In Dick's absence, Ja'Kobe Walter will likely move into the starting five, but Jamal Shead and A.J. Lawson are also candidates to take on increased roles in the backcourt.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Listed out for Tuesday
Rotowire
Dick (knee) will not play Tuesday against the Magic, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Dick suffered a hyperextension and a sit-bone contusion in his right knee during the second quarter of Sunday's game, and it's not a surprise that he won't be suiting up for the rematch against Orlando. An official timetable isn't known yet, but Dick's next chance to play comes Friday against Utah. Guys like Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamal Shead could see an uptick in minutes in the meantime.
Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said after Sunday's 104-102 win over the Magic that Dick suffered a hyperextension and a sit-bone contusion in his right knee during the second quarter of the game, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Dick totaled two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in 16 minutes before checking out of the game for good with 42 seconds remaining in the second quarter, shortly after he sustained multiple injuries in a collision with the Magic's Cole Anthony that simultaneously resulted in teammate RJ Barrett falling on Dick's leg. According to Rajakovic, Dick passed all concussion testing administered after the game, but he suffered a split lip in addition to the knee injury. A timeline for Dick's return has yet to be provided, but the second-year guard seems more likely than not to sit out Tuesday's rematch with the Magic.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Flirts with double-double in loss
Rotowire
Dick scored 13 points (4-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), grabbed nine rebounds and dished one assist in 35 minutes of action during Friday's 125-115 overtime loss to the Bulls.
The sophomore wing has struggled from the field of late, shooting just 37.0 percent since the All-Star break, but has made up for it from deep, hitting threes at a 41.4 percent clip in the same span. He's also been more active on the glass than ever before in his career, logging his first double-digit rebounding performance earlier in the week before grabbing nine boards Friday as he fell just one rebound short of his first career double-double. He'll look to improve his efficiency during Sunday's outing against the Magic.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Probable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Dick is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics due to a thigh injury, Coty Wiles of RaptorsRepublic.com reports.
The injury is a new concern for Dick, and while he appears to be on track to play Tuesday, he may be more at risk of sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back set Wednesday versus the Pacers. Dick holds averages of 11.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers and 1.2 steals in 28.5 minutes over his last 10 games.
Dick accumulated nine points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and three steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 120-111 overtime loss to Miami.
Dick didn't have his best shooting performance Friday but still salvaged his fantasy line by notching a season-high mark in rebounds. Dick's fantasy value isn't very high if he's not hitting shots, and on that note, he's averaging 11.3 points per game while making 35.3 percent of his threes since the beginning of February.
