Remains out
VanVleet (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis
VanVleet missed Houston's entire four-game road trip due to a right ankle strain and will remain sidelined as the Rockets return home to face the Raptors on Sunday. The veteran point guard will have two more chances to suit up before the All-Star break -- Wednesday against the Suns and Thursday versus Golden State. However, barring a return to practice soon, it's unlikely VanVleet will be cleared for either of those games, so the Rockets will continue to rely on Amen Thompson and Jalen Green to play heavy minutes in the backcourt.

Week-to-week due to ankle injury
Head coach Ime Udoka said Monday that VanVleet is considered week-to-week due to a right ankle strain, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
Analysis
VanVleet injured his ankle during the Rockets' 110-98 loss to the Nets on Saturday. Additional testing over the weekend apparently revealed that his ankle injury is more than a day-to-day concern, so VanVleet appears set to miss the remaining four games of the Rockets' five-game road trip. The Rockets will presumably reassess VanVleet following the road trip, though it's unclear if he'll make enough progress in his recovery by that point to return to the court before the All-Star break. Tari Eason and Jae'Sean Tate will enter the Rockets' starting lineup Monday against the Knicks due to injuries to VanVleet and Alperen Sengun (calf). VanVleet's absence will likely result in Amen Thompson and Jalen Green taking on greater usage as the team's primary facilitators, while reserve guards Aaron Holiday and Reed Sheppard could both see their playing time increase.
