VanVleet headed to the locker room immediately with Raptors vice president of player health and performance Alex McKechnie.
The 25-year-old has played his way into All-Star consideration this season, averaging 18.7 points, 7.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game.

It would be a crushing loss for the Raptors if VanVleet is out for an extended period of time as he’s taken on a larger role running the offence, while averaging 37.8 minutes per game.
