Raptors' Bruce Brown: Practicing fully, needs to ramp up
Bruce Brown (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, but he's expected to require some additional ramp-up time before he's cleared to make his season debut, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.Brown has been sidelined since shortly before training camp after he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in September. Though he seems to have avoided any complications in his recovery, Brown will probably need to get in a few more practices under his belt until the Toronto Raptors are comfortable enough with where he's at from a conditioning standpoint to make him available for games. Brown will most likely remain sidelined for the Raptors' Sunday/Monday road back-to-back set in Cleveland and Detroit, but a return later next week could be plausible. After being acquired from the Pacers last January, Brown made 34 appearances (11 starts) for Toronto to close out the 2023-24 season and averaged 9.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.6 three-pointers in 26.0 minutes in those contests.

The Toronto Raptors announced Bruce Brown underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Thursday, and he will be re-evaluated in three weeks, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.Brown will be re-evaluated in three weeks, meaning he is more than likely to be held out of the team's preseason opener against the Wizards on Oct. 6, and possibly beyond. The 28-year-old said that the lingering knee issue affected his play starting in December of the 2023-24 season, during which he averaged 10.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists across 27.9 minutes in 67 appearances (44 starts). If Brown misses additional time, Gradey Dick (ankle) will likely pick up extra minutes and could secure the starting job.

The Toronto Raptors exercised Bruce Brown's $23 million player option for the 2024-25 season Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.A key piece in the Nuggets' run to the NBA title in 2022-23, Brown struggled to take hold of a larger role in Indiana to begin the season and then with the Raptors, who acquired him from the Pacers in January. Following the trade to Toronto, Brown appeared in 34 games and averaged 9.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.6 three-pointers in 26.1 minutes per contest.

If nothing else, the sizable expiring contract will make Brown a valuable trade piece in helping Toronto facilitate a potential deal during the upcoming season.
