Raptors clear Siakam, VanVleet, Flynn and McCaw to return to practice

Mar 16, 2021 | 4:18 PM

Four Toronto Raptors are one step closer to returning.

Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, Malachi Flynn and Patrick McCaw were cleared to practise in Detroit on Tuesday after being sidelined for health and safety protocols for more than a week.

Siakam, McCaw and Flynn were upgraded to “questionable” for Wednesday’s game against the Pistons, while VanVleet is listed as “doubtful.” 

Their return would be good news for a Raptors team that has lost five straight to drop to 11th in the Eastern Conference at 17-22.

OG Anunoby remains out for Toronto’s game versus Detroit on Wednesday to COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
