The good news is Khem Birch is questionable for Bulls vs Raptors. The bad need? … Johnson (left calf strain) and Champagnie (non-COVID illness) are OUT. Dragic is not with team. In health and safety protocols: Achiuwa, Banton, Barnes, Flynn, Trent, Siakam, VanVleet. – 2:26 PM

Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Raptors players in COVID protocols: Siakam, Banton, Trent, VanVleet, Flynn, Barnes, Achiuwa.
They’re down to 7 regulars (Anunoby, Birch, Watanabe, Mykhailiuk, Boucher, Champagnie, Bonga) + replacement players for tomorrow’s game in Chicago, which is still on track to be played. – 2:17 PM

Mike Ganter @Mike_Ganter
So now Raptors are up to five in health and safety protocols. Fred VanVleet and Malachi Flynn join Pascal Siakam, Dalano Banton and Gary Trent Jr. For those counting at home that’s three starters and just about every guard they have on the roster. – 12:58 PM

ICYMI….from @Raptors_PR Personnel update, Tuesday, Dec. 21 – Fred VanVleet and Malachi Flynn have joined Pascal Siakam, Gary Trent Jr. and Dalano Banton in COVID protocols….#rtz #raptors – 11:52 AM

Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
The Raptors have 6 guards on their roster – 4 of them are in the COVID protocols (VanVleet, Trent, Banton, Flynn), 1 is hurt (Johnson) and 1 is in Slovenia.
Assuming it’s not postponed (and it absolutely should be), tomorrow’s game vs Chicago will be… interesting? – 11:49 AM
