Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Won't play Sunday
Poeltl (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
Poeltl will get the first night of a back-to-back set off and likely return to action Monday against Cleveland. Backup center Sandro Mamukelashvili has been playing well and should start in Poeltl's absence, while Collin Murray-Boyles (knee) and Jonathan Mogbo are candidates for increased roles.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Near double-double in win
Poeltl posted 19 points (8-10 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 win over Philadelphia.
Poeltl has been on a tear recently, scoring double-digit points in his last six games while averaging 16.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks on a whopping 80.9 percent from the field. While he is not expected to maintain this efficiency long term, Poeltl will continue to generate these kinds of looks as the team's top center.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Efficient performance vs. Cleveland
Poeltl finished Thursday's 126-113 win over the Cavaliers with 20 points (7-10 FG, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals over 20 minutes.
It was an efficient night from the field and the charity stripe for Poeltl, who finished with the third-most points on the Raptors behind Scottie Barnes (28) and Immanuel Quickley (25). Through four games in November, Poeltl has averaged 13.0 points on 74.1 percent shooting, 9.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks over 26.1 minutes per game.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Double-double in return
Poeltl posted 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Toronto's 119-109 win over Brooklyn on Tuesday.
Poeltl was cleared to play Tuesday after he sat out the Raptors' second game of a back-to-back set in Saturday's loss to the 76ers while tending to a back issue. The injury didn't appear to bother him much against Brooklyn, as he played a season-high 30 minutes while logging a second straight double-double. Poeltl has averaged 10.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 blocks over 24.9 minutes per contest across three games in November.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Off injury report for Tuesday
Poeltl (back) isn't listed on the Raptors' injury report for Tuesday's game against the Nets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
After missing Saturday's loss to the 76ers -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to a back issue, Poeltl will return to action against Brooklyn. Over six regular-season appearances so far this season, the big man has averaged 7.7 points and 6.7 rebounds in 22.8 minutes per contest.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Won't play Saturday
Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
Poeltl will be sidelined due to a back issue. It will be the fourth game he's missed this season. The team will likely turn to Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Improved performance Friday
Poeltl ended Friday's 109-97 win over the Hawks with 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 25 minutes.
Poeltl produced arguably his best performance of the season, recording his first double-double. In his second game since returning from an ongoing back concern, Poeltl's playing time also increased to 25 minutes, an encouraging sign for anyone who has held him through the early-season struggles. While things are trending in the right direction, it should be noted that the Raptors were on the first game of a back-to-back, meaning there is a chance Poeltl misses Saturday's game against the 76ers.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Near double-double in return
Poeltl (back) logged eight points (4-6 FG) and nine rebounds over 20 minutes during the Raptors' 128-100 win over the Bucks on Tuesday.
Poeltl made his return to action after missing the Raptors' previous three games due to a back injury. He operated on a minutes restriction, which likely played a factor in backup center Sandro Mamukelashvili (23 minutes) receiving more playing time. The Raptors embark on a five-game road trip starting Friday in Atlanta, so Poeltl will have additional time to recover from Tuesday's contest and could see his minutes increase accordingly.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Available Tuesday
Poeltl (back) will play on an unspecified minutes restriction in Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Poeltl will return from a three-game absence due to a back issue, though the team will monitor his playing time. Collin Murray-Boyles will likely see a dip in minutes with Poeltl returning. Over four regular-season appearances, the big man has averaged 6.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 23.0 minutes per contest.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Questionable after full practice
Poeltl (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
After participating in Monday's practice, Poeltl is trending in the right direction for Tuesday. The big man is trying to end a three-game absence with a back issue. If Poeltl returns to the lineup, rookie first-rounder Collin Murray-Boyles would likely revert back to the bench and lose some streaming upside.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Ruled out for Sunday
Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
Poeltl will miss his third consecutive game as he manages a back issue. The big man's next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Bucks. Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili are candidates to see increased minutes against Memphis with Poeltl sidelined.

Poeltl (back) will not play Friday against Cleveland, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Poeltl won't travel with the team and will stay behind to rehab his back injury. His next chance to play comes Nov. 2 against the Grizzlies. Collin Murray-Boyles drew the start at center Wednesday against the Rockets and put up 13 points (5-8 FG), one rebound, two assists and three three-pointers.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Won't play vs. Houston
Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Poeltl suffered a back issue during Monday's game against the Spurs. He left that game early in the fourth quarter and didn't return. In his absence, the team will likely turn to Sandro Mamukelashvili, Jonathan Mogbo and Collin Murray-Boyles to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Doubtful for Wednesday
Poeltl (back) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
After exiting Monday's game against the Spurs with lower-back tightness, Poeltl is likely to miss at least one game. Sandro Mamukelashvili could be in line for a spot start at center Wednesday, while Ochai Agbaji and Collin Murray-Boyles may have an expanded role in store.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Won't return vs. San Antonio
Poeltl won't return to Monday's game against the Spurs due to lower-back tightness, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
Poeltl exited to the locker room with 9:04 remaining in the final quarter and was ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly thereafter. The big man will finish with two points (1-6 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 24 minutes. Sandro Mamukelashvili will likely see a bump in minutes the rest of the way with Poeltl sidelined. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against Houston.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Struggles with foul trouble in loss
Poeltl recorded four points (2-3 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 19 foul-plagued minutes in a 139-129 loss to the Mavericks.
While foul trouble was an issue for Poeltl in this one, overall, he's gotten off to a slow start to the 2025-26 season. This was his second game without any blocks, and through the first three games of the season, he's missed all five of his free-throw attempts. He'll draw a tough matchup with Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs on Monday, so Poeltl could be headed for another rough afternoon.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Subpar performance in loss
Poeltl posted six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes in Friday's 122-116 loss to the Bucks.
Poeltl has kicked off the 2025-26 season with two rather unremarkable performances, which can partly be attributed to foul trouble. His role as the team's starting center is not in any imminent danger, however. Poeltl's next opportunity to bounce back is Sunday's matchup with Dallas.

Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Off report for Opening Night
Poeltl (back) is off the Raptors' injury report for Wednesday's matchup against Atlanta.
Poeltl exited Friday's preseason win over the Nets and didn't return due to stiffness in his lower back. However, the big man is set to return for the Raptors' regular-season opener. He started 56 of his 57 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, during which he averaged 14.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks across 29.6 minutes per game.
