Jamal Shead Out for Raptors with Right Knee Contusion
Jamal Shead, the point guard for the Toronto Raptors, is currently out due to a right knee contusion. This injury has prevented him from taking the court recently. The team announced that he will not be available for their upcoming games as he recovers.
What It Means
Shead’s absence affects the Raptors’ depth at the point guard position. He has been averaging 5.0 points and 3.2 assists per game this season. Although his scoring numbers are not high, his playmaking ability is valuable to the team.
With Shead out, Davion Mitchell may see an increase in playing time. Mitchell is ranked second on the depth chart and averages 6.6 points per game. The Raptors will need other players to step up in order to fill the gap left by Shead’s injury.
