Raptors' Birch (knee) out, Trent (toe) questionable vs. Celtics

Toronto Raptors centre Khem Birch will miss Monday's matchup with the Boston Celtics because of swelling in his right knee, the team announced. 

The Montreal native played just under 15 minutes in Saturday's lopsided win over the Indiana Pacers, scoring six points with two rebounds and one assist.

He is averaging 4.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in 48 contests this season for Toronto.

The Raptors also said swingman Gary Trent Jr. is questionable Monday night as he continues to battle an injury to his big toe. The 23-year-old has missed the Raptors' past three contests.

The Duke product is averaging 18.0 points per game on 40.7 per cent from the field and 37.6 per cent from beyond the arc in 62 games this season.

After their matchup with the Celtics at Scotiabank Arena, the Raptors will be back in action on Wednesday as they host the Minnesota Timberwolves.
