He joins O.G. Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Otto Porter Jr. on the inactive list for Friday’s game.
Dowtin Jr., meanwhile, has played in nine games with the Raptors this season and 12 with the 905. In the G-League he is averaging 20.6 points, 7.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game.
The Raptors are in the midst of a three-game losing streak that they will look to snap against the red-hot Nets.
