Carton (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.
Carton continues to miss time with an ankle injury he suffered during G League action. Even when cleared to suit up, he likely won't have a path to NBA minutes, especially with Scottie Barnes (eye) and Immanuel Quickley (elbow) nearing returns.

Raptors' D.J. Carton: Held scoreless Friday
Rotowire
Carton posted no counting statistics in five minutes during Friday's 131-125 loss to the Lakers.
Carton played fewer than 10 minutes for the fourth straight game, having tallied a grand total of just three points all season. Even with multiple injuries to other players, Carton has not been able to carve out a meaningful role. The 24-year-old guard is one of the Raptors' two-way players and will likely join the Raptors 905 once the G League season gets underway.

Raptors' D.J. Carton: Logs 19 minutes in preseason
Rotowire
Carton recorded seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and a steal across 19 minutes during Sunday's 125-98 preseason win over the Wizards.
Carton missed 20 games to close the 2023-24 campaign due to a right-ankle sprain, but he returned to action to kick off the preseason. Carton appeared in just four games last season, averaging 2.8 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 9.0 minutes per contest. It figures to be an uphill battle for the 23-year-old pro to see a significant role this season.

Raptors' D.J. Carton: Downgraded to doubtful
Rotowire
Carton (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Thursday's game against the Suns.
Carton was initially listed as questionable due to a right ankle sprain, but the downgrade in his status means he's now quite unlikely to step on the hardwood. Carton has played just four times for the Raptors this season, and even if he ends up being available, he's not expected to play a significant role off the bench.
