NBA Injury News

The Toronto Raptors have listed Fred VanVleet as questionable for Saturday night's game against the Miami Heat. FVV has missed two games in a row for the Raptors with a sore knee.

On the flip side of that matchup, Jimmy Butler is probable to suit up with a toe injury. Butler was questionable with the same injury in Friday's game but played 37 minutes and appears to be leaning toward playing tonight.

Seth Curry is questionable Saturday ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers' games against the Sacramento Kings and could miss his fifth game in a row with sore left ankle. De'Aaron Fox is also questionable after missing three straight games with an ankle injury.

Domantas Sabonis is questionable entering Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks after returning from a four-game absence Friday. Sabonis had been dealing with a left ankle sprain over the past week.

The New Orleans Pelicans will be without Brandon Ingram when they face the Boston Celtics at home tonight. Ingram has missed three games in a row with an ankle injury.
