Agbaji (recently traded) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Agbaji appears ready to make his Nets debut Saturday. The forward should be available off the bench, but it's perhaps too early in his Brooklyn tenure to tell if he'll take the court in a meaningful way against Washington.

Nets' Ochai Agbaji: Traded to Brooklyn
Rotowire
The Raptors traded Agbaji to Brooklyn on Tuesday in a three-team trade, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The Clippers flipped Chris Paul to Toronto, while a 2032 second-round pick and cash were sent to Brooklyn.
Agbaji was frequently mentioned in the rumor mill prior to this move. The 25-year-old wing made 42 appearances in Toronto, averaging 4.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.4 steals in 15.5 minutes per contest. It remains to be seen what type of role he'll be able to carve out in Brooklyn, and he can be considered doubtful to debut Thursday against Orlando while the deal finalizes.

Raptors' Ochai Agbaji: Notches 10 points
Rotowire
Agbaji finished Thursday's 111-105 win over the Bucks with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes.
Agbaji has logged at least 20 minutes over his last four appearances, but he reached double-digit points in just two of those. His upside isn't the greatest due to a low usage rate, and his minutes will be in serious danger with RJ Barrett (knee) due back soon.

Rotowire
Agbaji will start against the Knicks on Tuesday, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

Raptors' Ochai Agbaji: Non-factor in win
Rotowire
Agbaji logged zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in five minutes during Wednesday's 97-95 win over the Pacers.
Agbaji is yet to record double-digit scoring this season, continuing to play a limited role off the bench. Unlike previous seasons, Toronto has put together a strong start to the season and likely has visions of making the playoffs. With a deeper roster, Agbaji has moved down the pecking order, making him a non-factor in most fantasy formats, even with RJ Barrett (knee) sidelined.

Raptors' Ochai Agbaji: Sees 16 minutes in win
Rotowire
Agbaji finished Friday's 140-110 win over the Wizards with four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in 16 minutes.
Agbaji wasn't included in the rotation during Wednesday's 121-112 win over the 76ers after missing the previous four contests due to a lumbar strain, but he was the fifth man off the bench Friday and was able to see some minutes before the game turned into a blowout. Toronto was still without rookie Collin Murray-Boyles (knee) in Friday's game, and once he returns to action, Agbaji could find himself as the odd man out of head coach Darko Rajakovic's rotation.

Rotowire
Agbaji supplied four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds across 16 minutes during Sunday's 117-104 victory over the Grizzlies.
Agbaji continues to back up Brandon Ingram but has not been able to produce meaningfully, as he has not eclipsed five points yet this season. However, despite being in competition with Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamison Battle for minutes, Agbaji does not seem to be in danger of losing his spot in the rotation.

Raptors' Ochai Agbaji: Full stat line in season finale
Rotowire
Agbaji closed Sunday's 125-118 loss to San Antonio with 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals in 38 minutes.
The 2022 first-rounder was a stable member of the Toronto rotation all throughout 2024-25, starting 45 games this season. Over 14 games as a starter since the calendar flipped to 2025, Agbaji averaged 12.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes. With Brandon Ingram (ankle) expected to be ready for the start of 2025-26, however, Agbaji figures to open next year as a reserve while also sitting behind Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett on the depth chart at forward.
