Jontay Porter News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Coming off bench Porter will play a reserve role in Friday's tilt against the Clippers, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

Impact Porter will come off the bench in favor of Thadeous Young, which will snap a five-game start streatk. The second-year big man has averaged 5.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists across six games as a reserve this season.

Held scoreless in six minutes Porter provided zero points (0-2 FG), two rebounds and one block over six minutes during Monday's 108-100 loss to Memphis.

Impact Porter was poked in the eye during Monday's game and was cleared to return according to Kayla Grey of TSN, but the Raptors decided to roll with small-ball lineups for most of the game. Porter should be set to reprise his role as the starting center Friday against the Clippers.

Enters starting five Porter is starting Monday's game against the Celtics, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Porter will draw his first start of the 2023-24 campaign after logging 31 minutes in his last appearance Friday against the Jazz. Thaddeus Young will retreat to a bench role as a result.

Logs 31 minutes in loss Porter chipped in nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals in 31 minutes during Friday's 145-113 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Porter's increased minutes weren't a result of the lopsided total, as he was involved right away after a slow start from Thaddeus Young. The Missouri product is aptly filling most of the gap left by Jakob Poeltl (ankle), so Porter is a waiver wire flier to consider for the month of January.

Sees more time amid injuries Porter notched nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and four assists in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 126-120 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Jakob Poeltl (ankle) is expected to miss two weeks, and the added absence of Pascal Siakam (back) Wednesday allowed Porter to step in and see more time. Interestingly, his 18 minutes were higher than those of Chris Boucher (11minutes) and Jalen McDaniels (13 minutes), who are usually the next men up when the frontcourt is thin.

Plays 12 minutes off bench Porter recorded two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 12 minutes during Sunday's 133-118 win over the Warriors.

Impact Porter appeared in a third consecutive game for the Raptors on Sunday, although it's worth noting that none of the matchups were particularly close on the scoreboard at halftime. He's averaged 4.0 points and 2.7 rebounds in 10.7 minutes per game during his appearances with the parent club, but it seems unlikely that he'll have a consistent enough role in the NBA to make him a fantasy-relevant option.

Sent to waivers Porter was waived by the Pistons on Saturday, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Porter joined Detroit on an Exhibit 10 deal, and he was ultimately unable to prove that he was deserving of a roster spot ahead of the 2023-24 opener. The Pistons do own his G League rights, however, meaning he'll report to the Motor City Cruise if he passes through waivers unclaimed.
