Toronto Raptors guard/forward
Gradey Dick (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Two weeks ago, it was announced that Dick will be re-evaluated around March 18, but there have been no updates on his status. The 21-year-old will continue to sit due to a bone bruise on his right knee, missing a ninth consecutive game on Thursday night. With Dick out,
Jamison Battle,
A.J. Lawson, and
Jamal Shead will continue to log additional minutes. Lawson has been the best fantasy contributor of the three players, averaging 19.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists over the last five games.

NBA reporter Marc Stein reports the Toronto Raptors announced guard/forward
Gradey Dick (knee) will be re-evaluated in two weeks and unavailable due to suffering a hyperextended right knee, resulting in bone bruises. Dick suited up on Sunday against the Magic but left the game after playing 16 minutes. With the 21-year-old out of action,
Ja'Kobe Walter,
A.J. Lawson and
Jamal Shead will likely take on extra minutes moving forward.

Gradey Dick (pelvis) will not suit up for Tuesday's rematch against the Orlando Magic. When the two teams met on Sunday, Dick exited the action due to a right knee hyperextension and a sit-bone bruise. With Dick out, Ja'Kobe Walter is expected to move into the starting unit. Walter has been an inconsistent performer during his rookie campaign, but his numbers in a starting role have been decent. Over nine starts, Walter has averaged 10.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 24.3 minutes.
Jamal Shead may also pick up a few extra minutes due to Dick's absence.

Gradey Dick (head, leg) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. Dick took a hit to the head while
RJ Barrett fell on his leg during the same play. He exited late in the second quarter and won't return to the contest. It's unclear at the moment if this injury is going to cost him any additional time. Ja'Kobe Walker started in the second half and could see an increased role going forward if Dick misses more time.
