Late scratch Monday
Shead has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks due to a right knee contusion, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. Shead was a late scratch due to the knee injury, and his next chance to suit up will come Thursday against Memphis. With the rookie sidelined, Davion Mitchell and Ja'Kobe Walter should pick up the slack in the backcourt off the bench.
Double-double off bench Sunday
Shead closed Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Rockets with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes off the bench. With RJ Barrett (illness) out and Bruce Brown (knee) not quite ready to make his season debut, Shead saw a career-high workload and turned it into his first career double-double. The second-round rookie is working his way into a regular part of the Raptors' rotation, recording at least one steal and one made three-pointer in four straight games while averaging 7.8 points, 5.3 assists, 2.8 boards, 1.3 steals and 1.3 threes in 21.3 minutes a contest over that stretch. Even when Brown joins the lineup, there may still be a spot in the backcourt for Shead.
Solid numbers off bench Monday
Shead finished Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls with 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and one steal across 12 minutes. Shead made the most of his minutes off the bench. The rookie was perfect from the field and made his presence felt as a playmaker and rebounder while logging just 12 minutes. The Raptors will probably rely on RJ Barrett to run the offense going forward, but Shead could get a bigger role since the team is missing both Immanuel Quickley (elbow) and Scottie Barnes (ankle) due to injuries.
Recalled to parent club
Toronto recalled Shead from the G League's Raptors 905 on Monday. Shead has played an average of 12.0 minutes over his last three NBA appearances, so he's likely to get more reps with the 905 in the near future.
Assigned to G League
The Raptors assigned Shead to the G League's Raptors 905 on Friday. Shead tallied five points (2-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Toronto's most recent outing before being assigned to the G League. However, the rookie guard has been a consistent member of the NBA club's rotation, so he will likely only be with the Raptors 905 for a short period.
Returns to parent club
The Raptors recalled Shead from the G League's Raptors 905 on Sunday. Shead posted 20 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 assists and six rebounds in 38 minutes for the Raptors 905 during Sunday's 119-114 G League loss to the Westchester Knicks. Shead has been a fringe rotation player at the NBA level with an average of 14.1 minutes across 23 appearances. He'll be back in Toronto for Monday's game against the Knicks, but he won't be guaranteed to get any minutes while the contest is competitive.
Headed to G League on Sunday
Shead was assigned to the G League's Raptors 905 on Sunday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Shead scored just eight points over his last four outings and was a healthy DNP for Saturday's 125-118 loss to the Mavericks. He'll get more playing time in the G League, and across two games with Raptors 905, he's averaged 8.5 points, 12.5 assists and 1.5 rebounds over 23.9 minutes per game.
Recalled to NBA on Thursday
Shead was recalled to the NBA for Thursday's 129-92 loss to Oklahoma City, during which he accumulated zero points (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two assists and one rebound across 12 minutes. Shead appeared in the Raptors' G League affiliate's 134-92 win over the Greensboro Swarm on Thursday, in which he posted six points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 assists and two rebounds across 21 minutes. Then, the rookie appeared in the Raptors' blowout loss Thursday evening, though he was unproductive in limited playing time. In his last five NBA outings, Shead averaged 3.2 points and 1.8 assists over 9.6 minutes per game.
Muted role continues
Shead closed Tuesday's 122-111 win over Indiana with six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and one rebound in 10 minutes. Shead saw just 10 minutes in the win, another in a string of underwhelming performances. After scoring double-digits in the first two games of the season, Shead has since failed to score more than eight points in any contest. At this point, the only chance Shead has to play meaningful minutes is if the Raptors opt to change course and lean into their youth.
