Toronto Raptors rookie Oshae Brissett will not play on Saturday in the season restart opener against the Los Angeles Lakers due to right knee soreness, the team announced.
Brissett made only one appearance during the Raptors’ three scrimmage games, logging four minutes on July 24 against the Houston Rockets. Brissett did not score in that contest and did not play in the final two scrimmage games.
Brissett, who is signed to a two-way contract, spent much of the season in the G League with the Raptors 905 and logged only 19 appearances in the NBA prior to the season shut down. He was included on the team’s final roster and is eligible to play.
Brissett said on July 21 that, despite not playing much this season, he will remain ready for his opportunity should his name be called. After suffering a knee injury, that chance may be delayed until he can become fully healthy again.
Brissett averaged 1.9 points and 1.4 rebounds this season with the Raptors.
