Latest Raptors News
Kelly Olynyk : Promoted to starting role
Olynyk is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies. Olynyk will start for the first time this season and will be at center due to the absence of Jakob Poeltl (groin). He's made seven appearances off the bench this season, averaging 6.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game.
Jonathan Mogbo : Moves to bench Thursday
Mogbo will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Grizzlies. Kelly Olynyk will supplant Mogbo in the starting lineup after he started in the club's last five outings. In that five-game span, the 23-year-old has averaged 5.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists across 25.4 minutes per contest. Mogbo should still see significant playing time off the bench with Ja'Kobe Walter (illness) sidelined Thursday.
Jamal Shead : Sidelined Thursday
Shead (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Memphis, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Shead will miss his second consecutive outing due to a right knee contusion, and his next chance to play will come Sunday against Atlanta. With the rookie joining Immanuel Quickley (elbow) on the sideline, Davion Mitchell and A.J. Lawson could see an uptick in playing time.
Ja'Kobe Walter : Won’t give it a go Thursday
Walter (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Memphis, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Walter will be held out of his first matchup since Nov. 25 due to the illness, and his next chance to feature will come Sunday against Atlanta. With the rookie sidelined, Jonathan Mogbo and Jamison Battle could see an uptick in playing time.
Ja'Kobe Walter : Iffy for Thursday
Walter is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Grizzlies due to an illness, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. Walter is in danger of missing his first game since Nov. 25 on Thursday due to an illness. If the rookie guard is unable to suit up against Memphis, Davion Mitchell and Jamison Battle are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Jakob Poeltl : Ruled out for Thursday
Poeltl (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Memphis Poeltl will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to groin strains. His next opportunity to take the court comes Sunday versus Atlanta, but Toronto could opt to exercise caution with the big man given that both legs are dealing with fatigue.
Bruce Brown : Still out Thursday
Brown (knee) will not play Thursday versus Memphis. Brown is nearing his season debut after completing his recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery. However, he still needs to get fully ramped up before the Raptors give him the green light to play.
Jamal Shead : Questionable for Thursday
Shead (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Memphis. Shead is at risk of missing his second consecutive game due to a right knee contusion. The rookie had ramped up to a season-high 33 minutes Dec. 22 versus Houston, and he's settling in as a consistent part of Toronto's backcourt with Immanuel Quickley (elbow) yet to play this season.
