The Toronto Raptors have announced that Garrison Brown will be sidelined for Friday's game against the Miami Heat due to ongoing rehabilitation from knee surgery. This adds to the team's existing roster issues, with Gradey Dick, Kelly Olynyk, and Immanuel Quickley also struggling with injuries. Additionally, rookie Ja'Kobe Walter has been promoted to the starting lineup in Dick's absence.
There'd be some optimism from the Toronto Raptors last week that Brown would be able to return on Toronto's four-game road trip this week. That, however, will not be the case as Brown has been ruled out for Friday night's game against the Miami Heat as he continued to ramp toward a return following offseason knee surgery.
Toronto opted to make a starting lineup change with Dick out, promoting rookie first-round pick Ja'Kobe Walter to the starting lineup on Wednesday. He took over for Davion Mitchell who reverted back to a bench role for the Raptors. Quickley is not expected to be back until at some point in the middle of next month as he continues to deal with a UCL sprain.
