The Toronto Raptors wrap up their pre-All-Star schedule tonight as they visit Winnipeg’s favourite NBA destination — the Target Center and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The big news from Nick Nurse before the game is that Fred VanVleet will miss the game with a knee contusion. Nurse qualified the status, though, with the fact that VanVleet plans to be a full go in the three-point shootout and All-Star Game this weekend.
Fred VanVleet won't play tonight. MRI was clear, just a contusion.

On the opposing side, Minnesota could be without one of their young stars, as Anthony Edwards is a game-time decision with an ankle injury.
