Impact Shead will miss his second consecutive outing due to a right knee contusion, and his next chance to play will come Monday against Atlanta. With the rookie joining Immanuel Quickley (elbow) on the sideline, Davion Mitchell and A.J. Lawson could see an uptick in playing time.

Impact Shead is at risk of missing his second consecutive game due to a right knee contusion. The rookie had ramped up to a season-high 33 minutes Dec. 22 versus Houston, and he's settling in as a consistent part of Toronto's backcourt with Immanuel Quickley (elbow) yet to play this season.

Even when Brown joins the lineup, there may still be a spot in the backcourt for Shead.

Solid numbers off bench Monday Shead finished Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls with 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and one steal across 12 minutes.

Impact Shead made the most of his minutes off the bench. The rookie was perfect from the field and also made his presence both as a playmaker and rebounder while logging just 12 minutes. The Raptors will probably rely on RJ Barrett to run the offense going forward, but Shead could get a bigger role since the team is missing both Immanuel Quickley (elbow) and Scottie Barnes (ankle) due to injuries.

Recalled to parent club Toronto recalled Shead from the G League's Raptors 905 on Monday.

Impact Shead tallied five points (2-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Toronto's most recent outing before being assigned to the G League. However, the rookie guard has been a consistent member of the NBA club's rotation, so he will likely only be with the Raptors 905 for a short period.
