Raptors’ Fred VanVleet needed stitches after taking elbow to eye
Fred VanVleet’s left eye was not looking so great after Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on Sunday night.
VanVleet’s Toronto Raptors beat the Milwaukee Bucks 118-112 in double overtime for their first win in the series. VanVleet did not play well and shot just 1-for-11 in the game. Adding injury to the insult, he took an elbow and had his eye bloodied.
TSN Raptors reporter Josh Lewenberg shared a photo after the game that showed VanVleet’s eye looking nasty. The Raptors guard needed stitches to close the cut.
