JAKOB POELTL NEWS

Active at shootaround Poeltl, who's listed as questionable due to an ankle injury, was active during Toronto's morning shootaround ahead of Wednesday's game versus Dallas, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Poeltl left Monday's win over Indiana early after spraining his left ankle, but he appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Wednesday's contest. His official availability will likely be a game-time decision.

Raptors Provide Update on Jakob Poeltl's Sprained Ankle The Toronto Raptors have listed Jakob Poeltl as questionable to play Wednesday night with a left ankle sprain

FEBRUARY 27 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Questionable for Wednesday Poeltl (ankle) is questionable to play Wednesday versus Dallas, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Poeltl not immediately being ruled out for Wednesday's game is a good sign after he was unable to return to Monday's contest due to a left ankle sprain. That being said, his status will need to be monitored. Kelly Olynyk would likely step into a featured role in the frontcourt if Poeltl can't suit up.

Impact Poeltl has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain, and his night is now officially over. His status will be worth monitoring over the next few days given the nature of his injury.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Visits locker room Poeltl went to the locker room after appearing to suffer a left ankle injury, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Poeltl reportedly went to get his ankle re-taped, per Lewenberg, and the team is hopeful that he'll be able to continue in this one. Kelly Olynyk would likely be asked to eat up minutes at center down the stretch if Poeltl is ruled out.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Strong showing on glass Poeltl totaled 12 points (6-13 FG), 13 rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 26 minutes during Friday's 123-121 win over the Hawks.

Impact It was the 28-year-old center's 18th double-double of the season and fifth in the last nine games, while the six assists tied his season high. Poeltl is averaging 13.1 points, 10.2 boards, 2.4 assists and 2.1 blocks during that nine-game stretch while shooting 59.8 percent from the floor.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Posts another d Poeltl provided 19 points (8-15 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Poeltl posted his fourth double-double over his last seven appearances, and the big man has been quite an asset on both ends of the court for the Raptors. He seems to have left a nagging ankle injury in the rearview, and he should remain a capable double-double threat for Toronto as long as he remains healthy.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Fills stat sheet Friday Poeltl recorded 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, six blocks and three steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 107-104 win over Houston.

Impact Poeltl recorded one of his best stat lines of the season, finishing just four blocks shy of a triple-double and making his presence felt on both ends of the court. Poeltl is expected to hold a prominent role for the Raptors going forward after the team traded away several regulars before the deadline, and an increase in touches should bolster Poeltl's fantasy value, which is already decent given his ability to post double-doubles every time he steps on the court. He's reached that feat in three of his last five outings since returning from an ankle injury that sidelined him for most of January.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Posts double-double in win Poeltl recorded 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 123-117 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Poeltl has an excellent touch around the rim, shoots the ball at a high clip and is an outstanding rebounder -- traits that make him a reliable fantasy contributor and a player who can post double-doubles on a regular basis. He missed 11 games in January due to a nagging ankle injury, but he seems to be trending in the right direction now that he's back on the court, and he should have a sizable role if he stays with Toronto past the trade deadline.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles in loss Poeltl ended Sunday's 135-127 double-overtime loss to the Thunder with 19 points (8-9 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 33 minutes.

Impact Poeltl looked rusty in his return to action Friday against the Rockets, but he certainly found his stride Sunday night. The center racked up his 14th double-double of the campaign and was able to match his season-best mark of 19 points in the loss.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Gets limited run in return Poeltl (ankle) posted six points (3-5 FG), five rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 20 minutes in Friday's 135-106 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Poeltl is averaging 26.4 minutes per game for the season, but he was unsurprisingly held below that mark Friday while he suited up for the first time since Jan. 7 following a near-month-long recovery from a sprained left ankle. The veteran center may need another game or two to ramp up before he resumes playing a 25-to-30-minute role on a regular basis, but he's worthy of a pickup in 10-team leagues where he might have been available now that he's playing again. Poeltl won't typically post any eye-opening scoring totals and is a negative in the three-pointers and free-throw percentage categories, but he's a stellar contributor in three other categories (blocks, field-goal percentage and rebounds).

Full participant in practice Poeltl (ankle) fully participated in Thursday's practice session, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Poeltl has missed the last 11 games due to a sprained left ankle, but his full participation in practice is an encouraging sign. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Friday against Houston, but he seems to be trending toward a return to game action. However, once Poeltl is cleared to return, it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a minutes restriction during his first few games back.

Listed as questionable Poeltl (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Poeltl has missed 10 straight games due to a left ankle sprain, but he's nearing a return to game action. He returned to practice Monday, but coach Darko Rajakovic said the center still needs to regain his conditioning, per Eric Koreen of The Athletic. While Poeltl will likely return to game action sometime this week, fantasy managers should expect him to have restrictions for at least his first few games back.
