Raptors list VanVleet as questionable for Game 5 against 76ers with strained hip flexor

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet is questionable for Monday's playoff game against the Philadelphia 76ers with a strained left hip flexor.

The Raptors face elimination again Monday, trailing the Sixers 3-1 in their best-of-seven opening-round playoff series. No team in NBA history has come back from being down 3-0 — as the Raptors were — to win a series.

The 28-year-old VanVleet had been hampered by a bruised knee this season, missing 14 games since Jan. 25.

He averaged 20.3 points, 6.7 assists, and 4.4 rebounds per game this season and was named an all-star for the first time.
