  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Out again Sunday

    Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

    Poeltl continues to miss time due to a back strain. His next chance at a return will arrive Tuesday at Golden State. Collin Murray-Boyles should draw another start at center Sunday as a result.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Won't return Friday

    Poeltl (back) is out for Friday's game against the Clippers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Poeltl was cleared for contact back on Jan. 5, but the Raptors have yet to provide an updated timetable. In the meantime, the team will likely continue to lean on Collin Murray-Boyles at center.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Listed as out for Wednesday

    Poeltl is out for Wednesday's game against Indiana due to a lower-back strain.

    Poeltl has been cleared for contact for over one week now, but the Raptors aren't yet ready to give him the green light for game action. Rookie first-rounder Collin Murray-Boyles has started six contests in a row amid Poeltl's absence, and the former should remain a very appealing streaming choice for Wednesday.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Another absence coming

    Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the 76ers.

    Poeltl was cleared for contact back on Jan. 5 and is trending in the right direction, but the Raptors haven't determined a target date for his return. For what it's worth, head coach Darko Rajakovic said Sunday that Poeltl is without a definitive target date for a return, though that's not necessarily an indication that the veteran center has suffered a setback, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca. With Poeltl out for another game, Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili will absorb most of the available minutes at center.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Absence streak to continue

    Poeltl (back) is out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

    Poeltl is trending in the right direction but is still not ready to return. This means Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles will continue to handle the minutes at center against Joel Embiid (knee) and the 76ers. Poeltl's next chance to return will come against Philadelphia on Monday in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Won't play Friday

    Poeltl (back) will not play Friday against the Celtics.

    Poeltl was scheduled to practice Thursday, but the center is not quite ready to return. His next chance to play comes Sunday against the 76ers. Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili are likely to see increased roles in the meantime.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Set to practice Thursday

    Poeltl (back) is scheduled to participate in Thursday's practice, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    After he was recently cleared to resume taking contact, Poeltl will take another important step forward in his recovery from a lower-back strain by taking part in drills with his healthy teammates. Even if Poeltl checks out fine following Thursday's workout, he may not be cleared to play Friday in Boston, but it's apparent nonetheless that the veteran center is close to a return. Grange notes that the Raptors don't plan on re-signing recently waived big man Mo Bamba to a 10-day deal with the expectation that Poeltl will be back in the fold soon.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Won't play Wednesday

    Poeltl (back) will not play Wednesday against the Hornets, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

    Poeltl will miss his eighth game in a row Wednesday. The center is getting closer to a return, however, as he was cleared for contact work on Jan. 5. His next chance to play comes Friday against Boston.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Progressing in recovery

    Poeltl (back) has been cleared for contact work, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

    Poeltl is set to miss his seventh consecutive contest Monday due to a lower back strain, though the big man appears to be inching closer to a return. His next opportunity to suit up will come Wednesday against the Hornets, and the Raptors are expected to provide an update on his status by Tuesday night. If Poeltl misses additional time, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles will likely continue to see increased burn.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Out at least one more week

    The Raptors announced Monday that Poeltl (back) is c ompleting a program of "intensive rehab and strengthening" and will be re-evaluated in about one week, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

    Poeltl has been nursing an ongoing back issue since the preseason, which has resulted in him moving in and out of the lineup all season long. The Raptors are hoping that by building in more time for Poeltl to rehab the injury, his day-to-day availability will be more certain once he's eventually cleared to play again, per Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca. In the meantime, Sandro Mamukelashvili should have an extended runway to enhanced fantasy value as Toronto's starting center, while Collin Murray-Boyles also has an opportunity to claim a more sizable role in the frontcourt.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Remains out Monday

    Poeltl (back) will not play Monday against the Magic, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Poeltl will miss his fourth straight game Monday and doesn't appear close to a return. The Raptors signed Mo Bamba to provide some emergency depth at center in the meantime.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Missing third straight game

    Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

    Poeltl will miss his third straight game due to a lower back strain. Though the Raptors have been updating Poeltl's status on a game-by-game basis, it wouldn't be surprising if he missed additional time beyond Sunday, given that his back has been a recurring problem for him throughout the season. With Poeltl sidelined Sunday, Sandro Mamukelashvili will likely remain in the starting five, while Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) could see increased burn if he's cleared to play.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Won't play Friday

    Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards.

    Poeltl has been working through a back injury for most of the season, but he appeared to have aggravated the issue during the Raptors' loss to the Nets on Sunday. The injury will keep him sidelined for a second consecutive game, and his absence means Sandro Mamukelashvili will likely remain in the Raptors' starting lineup. Poeltl's next chance to play is Sunday against the Warriors.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Poeltl (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

    Poeltl aggravated his back during Sunday's loss to the Nets, and he's now dealing with a strain. Sandro Mamukelashvili is back in play to rejoin the first unit as a plug-and-play fantasy option, having averaged 16.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 32.3 minutes per contest over four games as a starter this season.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Won't return due to back tightness

    Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Nets, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

    Poeltl was cleared to return Sunday after a two-game absence due to a back injury, but he appears to have aggravated the issue during the first half. Sandro Mamukelashvili should start the second half and see a significant increase in playing time during Poeltl's absence. Poeltl will finish the contest with two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds and a turnover in seven minutes.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Starting against Nets

    Poeltl (back) is in the starting lineup against the Nets on Sunday, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

    With Poeltl returning from a two-game absence, Sandro Mamukelashvili will return to the second unit for Toronto. Poeltl is managing some nagging back soreness, and the team could be cautious with his workload.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Expected to play

    Poeltl (back) is expected to play Sunday against the Nets, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

    Poeltl, who is listed as questionable on the injury report, is on track to return from a two-game absence. If that's the case, Sandro Mamukelashvili will see reduced minutes for the Raptors.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Deemed questionable

    Poeltl (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

    Poeltl is tending to a minor back injury, and head coach Darko Rajakovic said Saturday that the team wants to give him enough time to recover so that the injury doesn't linger deeper into the season. Poeltl has already missed two games due to the issue and is at risk of missing a third Sunday. If Poeltl winds up sitting, Sandro Mamukelashvili would likely draw another start.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Out Saturday, considered DTD

    Poeltl (back) won't play in Saturday's game against the Celtics, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Per Grange, head coach Darko Rajakovic said Poeltl's back injury isn't considered serious, and the big man is considered day-to-day. Poeltl's next chance to play will come Sunday at Brooklyn. In the meantime, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles should handle most of the minutes at center.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Not expected to play Saturday

    Poeltl (back) has been downgraded to doubtful for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Poeltl was held out of Thursday's win over the Bucks while managing a back injury. He was initially tagged as questionable for Saturday's game, but it appears the veteran center will be held out of the front end of the Raptors' back-to-back set. Assuming Poeltl is ruled out, Sandro Mamukelashvili would likely start at center for a second consecutive game (and fourth time this season).
