The Raptors depth took a bit of a hit Friday when guard Pat McCaw was forced to leave the NBA bubble for medical treatment.
McCaw, whose injury has been kept in-house until now, is dealing with the reoccurrence of a benign mass on the back of his left knee.
He’ll leave the NBA campus in Orlando to seek treatment from Dr. Riley Williams at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York to determine his next step.
McCaw previously saw Williams in November for the same condition.
McCaw did not take part in any of the scrimmages or seeding games to date. Pre-pandemic this season he appeared in 37 games averaging 24.5 minutes a game with 4.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
Under NBA rules, the Raptors are not entitled to replace McCaw with another player. The roster now stands at 16 players.
An update on his status will be provided when appropriate according to the team.
