Jakob Poeltl News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors | FOX Sports

Out with back soreness Poeltl is out for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to back soreness, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact Poeltl is one of many key Spurs contributors sitting out Saturday's matchup, the second half of a back-to-back set. Though his absence is being attributed to an injury, Poeltl is most likely just resting after playing 29 minutes and finishing with 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks and one assist in Friday's 104-102 win over the Jazz. His absence should open up more center minutes for Zach Collins and Jock Landale.
