Won't play Sunday Poeltl (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports

Impact Poeltl was upgraded to doubtful prior to being downgraded to out Sunday, a sign that he could be closing in on a return to action for the first time since Jan. 7. If Poeltl is able to practice Monday, he'll have a good chance at being cleared to play Tuesday against Chicago.

JANUARY 27 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Unlikely Saturday Poeltl (ankle) has been deemed doubtful ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Hawks.

Impact Poeltl will need a quick turnaround for a chance to play. He sat out Friday's game versus the Clippers and is in danger of missing his second straight. Final confirmation on his status figures to come closer to game time.

Officially ruled out Poeltl (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Coach Darko Rajakovic said Thursday that Poeltl was unlikely to play against the Clippers, so it isn't very surprising to see the center officially ruled out. However, Poeltl has made progress in his recovery recently, and he's considered day-to-day after doing half-court work Wednesday.

Raptors Share Injury Updates for Jakob Poeltl and Immanuel Quickley The Toronto Raptors will be without Jakob Poeltl and Immanuel Quickley on Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers

JANUARY 25 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Unlikely to play Friday Poeltl (ankle) is unlikely to play Friday against the Clippers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Poeltl did half-court work Wednesday and is considered day-to-day for now, but he'll likely be forced to miss a ninth consecutive game due to his ankle injury. The center will likely need to progress to full-contact work before he's in the mix to return to game action, but he at least seems to be trending in the right direction.

Raptors Share Latest Injury Update For Jakob Poeltl The Toronto Raptors say Jakob Poeltl is ‘day-to-day’ as he nears his return from an ankle sprain

JANUARY 24 • SUNHERALD.COM

Considered day-to-day Poeltl (ankle) is now considered day-to-day, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Poeltl has missed the past eight games for Toronto, but he's getting closer to a return and was a partial participant at Wednesday's practice. He hasn't been cleared for contact yet, but that's expected to happen soon. For now, Poeltl should be considered doubtful for Friday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Poeltl will miss an eighth straight game Monday, but it appears he's nearing a return to game action. Toronto has only two games remaining in Week 14 following Monday's game -- Friday versus the Clippers and Sunday in Atlanta. Even if Poeltl is cleared to suit up for either of those games, he'll likely operate under a minute restriction while easing back into the rotation.

Progressing, re-evaluation coming Poeltl (ankle) took part in some light shooting at Sunday's practice and is due to be re-evaluated in about a week, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact The Raptors haven't issued a formal update on Poeltl's status since announcing Tuesday that he would be shut down for at least two weeks with a left ankle sprain, but the center's ability to get back on the court Sunday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- is at least a somewhat encouraging sign. Until he's re-evaluated, however, the team likely won't offer up a potential target date for Poeltl's return to game action. Thaddeus Young has served as the Raptors' starting center in each of the last three games in Poeltl's stead, while two-way player Jontay Porter has taken on an expanded role off the bench as Young's top backup.

Raptors Share Unfortunate News About Jakob Poeltl's Ankle Injury The Toronto Raptors say Jakob Peoltl will be out indefinitely with a left ankle sprain he suffered Sunday night

JANUARY 9 • SACBEE.COM

Out at least two weeks The Raptors announced Tuesday that Poeltl (ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks but is out indefinitely, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Given the phrasing of the release, Poeltl will likely be sidelined for more than two weeks but should be evaluated again before the end of January. In Poeltl's absence, Chris Boucher and Jontay Porter are likely candidates for more playing time, but Toronto could also opt to use Pascal Siakam at center more often. Thaddeus Young and Jalen McDaniels could also carve out more playing time in the frontcourt until Poeltl is cleared to suit up again.

Won't play Tuesday Poeltl has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers due to a sprained ankle, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Poeltl rolled his ankle during Sunday's win over Golden State but was able to play through the issue. However, he'll be forced to miss the first half of a back-to-back set Tuesday, which could lead to increased run for Jontay Porter, Chris Boucher and Pascal Siakam. Poeltl's next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against the Clippers.

Posts double-doucle in victory Poeltl supplied 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-5 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists over 31 minutes during Sunday's 133-118 win over Golden State.

Impact Poeltl has had somewhat inconsistent production in recent weeks, but he put together an efficient, well-rounded stat line during Sunday's comfortable victory. He's posted three double-doubles over his last six appearances and has averaged 10.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.7 blocks in 30.2 minutes per game during that time.

Drops season-high 19 against Sixers Poeltl accumulated 19 points (9-15 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 121-111 loss to the 76ers.

Impact After scoring only eight total points in the prior two games, Poeltl bounced back with a season-best offensive effort. The 28-year-old center has overall seen his numbers regress in his first full campaign back in Toronto, and through nine games in December, Poeltl is averaging 10.0 points, 7.7 boards, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks a night.

Plays just 15 minutes Poeltl registered four points (2-2 FG), one rebound and two assists in 15 minutes during Monday's 114-99 win over Charlotte.

Impact Poeltl picked up three quick fouls Monday, and the Raptors utilized a lot of smaller lineups with Gary Trent catching fire off the bench. Poeltl's minutes have been pretty consistent for the most part, so this dud is unlikely to worry his fantasy managers too much. In seven December showings, Poeltl averaged 9.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.4 blocks in 25.4 minutes.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles with three blocks Poeltl amassed 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-8 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and three blocks over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 135-128 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Poeltl played at least 30 minutes for the first time in more than two weeks, delivering his tenth double-double of the season. He added at least three blocks for just the fourth time, rounding out one of his better overall performances. With that said, he remains outside the top 90 in standard leagues, a rank that managers would love to see increase moving forward.
