Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet talks with Espn about the possibility of resuming the season:<\/p>\n
“I think everybody is just preparing for the worst-case scenario, the season being canceled,” Van Vleet said in a conference call Wednesday. “We have to do what we have to do to try to shoulder the hit as best we can for us as players and owners and the league, while also working to try to resume as best we can.”<\/p>\n
“I could play anywhere,” he said. “Do I want to play in front of no people? No, but does it really matter? At this point, I don’t think anybody is going to have a quarrel with what happens, as long as people’s health is first and foremost, which we know it probably won’t be.<\/p>\n
“If our league is going to be a leader in terms of public health and public safety and player safety, you’ve got to follow the guidelines of what the virus is speaking to you, so the odds are probably against us in terms of that,” VanVleet added.<\/p>\n
“But money, right? So, I think they’ll find a way somehow, some way and try to make it happen. I could definitely see it going either way. I wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t come back and I wouldn’t be surprised if we do come back.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The former Wichita State guard will be among the best Free Agent on the market\u00a0 after this season.<\/p>\n
Before the suspension VanVleet was averaging 17.6 points, 6.6 assist and 1.9 steals per game, shooting 41% from the field, 38% from long range and 84% from the foul line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
