Chris Boucher News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Double-doubles off bench Boucher provided 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and one block in 21 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Despite being healthy, Boucher didn't appear in any of Toronto's previous three games. However, he was thrust into an expanded role late in Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls after Jakob Poeltl (groin) left the contest. Poeltl is set for an MRI to determine the exact severity of the injury, but if he misses time, Boucher should have a consistent role in the frontcourt, splitting time with Kelly Olynyk and Jonathan Mogbo. When Boucher has played 20-plus minutes this season (10 games), he's averaged 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals-plus-blocks in 22.3 minutes per game.

Non-factor in win Tuesday Boucher finished Tuesday's 122-111 win over the Pacers with six points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes.

Impact Boucher offered very little Tuesday, continuing his recent run of low production. He has scored no more than 10 points in each of the past six games, adding three total blocks. The Raptors continue to deal with injuries to multiple players, yet Boucher has been unable to carve out a consistent role. Despite a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, it appears as though Boucher would need a minor miracle to have any chance of playing a significant role moving forward.

Impact Boucher put together one of his best outings of the season Thursday, coming off the bench and leading all Raptors players in threes made while surpassing the 20-point mark in a winning effort. Boucher has connected on at least three threes in four outings this season, now having reached 20 or more points in two contests.

Leads bench with 15 points Boucher logged 15 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and four rebounds in 20 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 overtime loss to the Celtics.

Impact Boucher ended Saturday's game as the Raptors' third-leading scorer behind Jakob Poeltl (35) and RJ Barrett (25). Boucher has reached double-digit points in seven of his last 10 outings, and over that span he has averaged 11.5 points and 4.5 rebounds over 18.6 minutes per game.

Productive off bench Sunday Boucher produced 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 123-103 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Boucher has been making the most of his minutes in recent games, and the veteran forward is making a strong case to see even more playing time with how he's been playing. He's scored in double digits in four of his last five outings, averaging 15.0 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in that stretch.

Provides spark off bench Boucher chipped in 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 122-107 loss to the Kings.

Impact With Kelly Olynyk (back) still sidelined, Boucher continues to operate as one of Toronto's primary bench options in the frontcourt. However, Boucher has been putting up inconsistent production, as he has scored 13 or more points in four of his nine appearances, but also four or fewer points in four outings. This season, Boucher is averaging 10.6 points and 4.0 rebounds in 18.1 minutes.

Adds 24 points off bench Boucher had 24 points (9-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes during Saturday's 131-128 overtime victory over the Kings.

Impact Boucher was finally able to capitalize on his recent uptick in playing time, posting a season-high 24 points while drilling 69.2 percent of his attempts from the field. The opportunities should continue to be there for the 31-year-old until Scottie Barnes (orbital) returns to health, which could be at least a few more weeks.

Empty performance Friday Boucher chipped in nine points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 14 minutes during Friday's 131-125 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Boucher continues to play a handful of extra minutes due to injuries, although he has been unable to make the most of his opportunity. The fact he is not measuring up even with three key pieces sidelined does not bode well for his production moving forward. At this point, it appears as though his best days are behind him.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team in scoring Boucher finished Wednesday's 136-106 loss to Cleveland with 18 points (5-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 20 minutes.

Impact Boucher's efficient shooting from behind the arc helped him lead the Raptors in scoring despite coming off the bench. If Kelly Olynyk (back) misses more time, Boucher should continue to operate as a primary backup in Toronto's frontcourt.

Not on injury report Boucher (knee) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact After missing Friday's preseason game against the Nets with a mild contusion, Boucher isn't listed on the official injury report. With Kelly Olynyk (back) sidelined Wednesday, Boucher could get the backup center minutes behind Jakob Poeltl, putting him on the streaming radar.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with knee injury Boucher will not return to Friday's preseason matchup with the Nets due to a right knee contusion, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The severity of Boucher's injury is not known at this time. He accumulated 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3PT, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal before exiting. When healthy, he is expected to provide frontcourt depth for the Raptors this season.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Drops 22 points in preseason loss Boucher tallied 22 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and seven rebounds in 18 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Wizards.

Impact Boucher turned back the clock in the loss, scoring a team-high 22 points. Following periods of fantasy relevance, Boucher has fallen off a cliff in recent seasons, struggling to play a consistent role for the Raptors. Although this was a trip down memory lane, it does not mean managers should lean into the nostalgia come draft day.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Leads bench with 13 points Boucher finished Sunday's 125-98 preseason win over the Wizards with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one block across 18 minutes.

Impact Boucher was one of seven Raptors players to score in double digits Sunday, five of which came off the bench. He saw his playing time dip during the 2023-24 campaign compared to previous seasons, but the 31-year-old Boucher is looking to make a larger impact off the bench for the upcoming year.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Improved mindset for 2024-25 Boucher (knee) has done a lot of work this offseason to ensure his mind is in the right place to start the 2024-25 campaign, Michael Grange of sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Boucher was reportedly upset with his role last season, averaging just 6.4 points and 4.1 rebounds in 14.1 minutes across 50 appearances, all of which were coming off the bench. While Boucher isn't necessarily slated for an increased role in 2024-25, it seems as though the 31-year-old big man is more willing to accept a depth role.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Boucher (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Heat, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.

Impact Boucher last played on March 9, when he recorded 16 points and eight rebounds across 31 minutes in a road loss to the Trail Blazers. The big man missed Toronto's final 18 contests, and he finished the campaign with averages of 6.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game across 50 appearances off the bench. From a statistical perspective, this was Boucher's worst year in the league since the 2018-19 campaign, his second campaign in The Association.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Nets Boucher (knee) will not play against the Nets on Wednesday, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact No surprise here, as Boucher is considered out indefinitely after suffering a partial MCL tear in his right knee in early March.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Out indefinitely Boucher (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers and remains out indefinitely, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Boucher suffered a partial MCL tear in his right knee in early March and doesn't have a return timetable. It wouldn't be surprising if Boucher misses the rest of the 2023-24 regular season.
