Josh Lewenberg: A few status changes for the Raptors in Cleveland tonight. Kyle Lowry, who was upgraded to questionable yesterday, is now doubtful. Pascal Siakam is OUT for rest in the first night of a back-to-back. Rodney Hood is now probable. VanVleet, Watson, Harris still out. Gillespie TBD.
Josh Lewenberg: Nurse confirms that Trent and Hood are available tonight.
Trent has a small $2.1 million cap hold which is very valuable to Toronto. They could spend all their cap space and then go over the cap to re-sign Trent to what he commands. They can generate around $22 million in cap space assuming they get a mid-to-late lottery pick, and they waive all non-guaranteed contracts except Chris Boucher. Newly acquired Hood is non-guaranteed for next season, so it’s possible that the Raptors buy him out now since they will likely cut him this offseason.
