Fred VanVleet - Likely won't have offseason surgery VanVleet (hip/knee) told reporters Friday that he believes his lingering injuries from the season will be resolved "fairly quickly" with some rest and treatment, Josh Lewenberg of...

Impact VanVleet suffered a bruised knee just before the All-Star break and injured his hip during Game 4 of the opening-round matchup with the 76ers, which ultimately sidelined him for the Raptors' final two games of the 2021-22 campaign. However, according to the point guard, neither injury is expected to limit his summer in any way, suggesting he won't need offseason surgery. VanVleet finished his sixth season in the NBA with averages of 20.3 points, 6.7 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 37.9 minutes per game -- all career highs.

Gary Trent Jr. - Drops 19 in season-ending loss Trent notched 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and two assists in 40 minutes during Thursday's 132-97 loss to the 76ers.

Impact The fourth-year guard bounced back from an illness that limited him in the first two games of the series, averaging 16.8 points, 2.4 boards, 2.2 threes, 2.1 assists and 1.7 steals over the final four contests against Philadelphia. Trent has become an effective backcourt complement to the Raptors' parade of long, athletic forwards, and next season he'll look to top the career-high 18.3 points and 3.0 three-pointers he recorded in 2021-22.

Pascal Siakam - Strong showing in Game 6 Siakam fouled out of Thursday's 132-97 loss to the 76ers after recording 24 points (9-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 44 minutes.

Impact It was another big performance by Siakam as he tried to keep the Raptors' season alive, but the team's defense couldn't slow down the Sixers. The 28-year-old averaged 22.8 points, 7.2 boards, 5.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks over six games in the first round, and he'll remain a key piece for the Raptors next season as they look to return to the top of the Eastern Conference.

Chris Boucher - Big double-double in Game 6 Boucher amassed 25 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 32 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 132-97 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact He led the Raptors in scoring, but the team's defense let them down as they bowed out of the postseason. The double-double was Boucher's only one in six playoff games this year, and he averaged 11.2 points, 5.8 boards, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 threes in 21.7 minutes against Philadelphia, albeit while shooting an impressive 61.9 percent from the floor. Boucher is an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.
