Ochai Agbaji News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Out again Tuesday Agbaji (hip) will not play Tuesday against the Lakers, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Agbaji will miss his second straight game Tuesday, and it's not a good sign that he's getting ruled out a day in advance. Fortunately for Toronto, they are expected to have Immanuel Quickley (personal) and RJ Barrett (conditioning) back in the mix Tuesday.

Won't play Sunday Agbaji (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Agbaji suffered a right hip contusion Wednesday against the Knicks and underwent medical testing that came back clean. However, he's still sore and will be forced to miss at least one game. It's not yet clear whether he'll be unavailable for additional games, but his next chance to return will be Tuesday against the Lakers.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Will not return Agbaji will not return to Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to a right hip contusion, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Agbaji played just five minutes before exiting the game. He left after accumulating just one rebound and assist each. In his absence, Gradey Dick and Bruce Brown could see some extra run on the wing.

Registers three steals vs. Thunder Agbaji closed Friday's 123-103 loss to the Thunder with 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and three steals over 32 minutes.

Impact Agbaji recorded three steals and scored in double-digits for the second straight time during Friday's contest. He's started in each of his last 10 games with All-Star forward Scottie Barnes (hand) sidelined. Agbaji has provided steady output as of late, and he has averaged 10.5 points on 43.6 percent shooting, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals over 31.7 minutes per game over his last four starts.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in double digits in loss Agbaji closed Wednesday's 123-89 loss to Sacramento with 13 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals across 30 minutes.

Impact The Raptors looked completely overmatched against a playoff-bound team like the Kings, but Agbaji at least posted a decent stat line, and he scored in double digits for the first time since March 3, when he also recorded 13 points in a win over the Hornets. Agbaji has been starting regularly in recent weeks, but he hasn't done much to become a reliable fantasy asset. He's averaging 6.6 points and 3.5 rebounds while logging 25.5 minutes per game since the beginning of March.

Notches nine points Agbaji ended with nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Sunday's 111-96 loss to the Magic.

Impact Agbaji continues to log heavy minutes for the Raptors, but his production from a fantasy perspective has left a lot to be desired. In nine March appearances, Agbaji has averaged 5.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.4 three-pointers while shooting 33.3 percent from the field. Sunday's performance was a step in the right direction, but his fantasy ceiling remains limited even with Toronto shorthanded.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Agbaji (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Suns, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Agbaji was previously upgraded to probable, so this was an expected update. Agbaji has struggled since joining the Raptors, hitting 37.7 percent from the field and 26.7 percent from beyond the arc.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Thursday Agbaji (knee) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Thursday's game against the Suns.

Impact Agbaji is on track to play through the knee issue, and if all goes well, he should get all the run he can handle on this banged-up Raptors team. His shooting percentages probably won't be great, but he's capable of racking up the counting stats when given the opportunity, putting him on the radar as a streaming option.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy against Phoenix Agbaji (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Suns, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Agbaji is in danger of missing Thursday's contest due to a left knee injury he suffered against New Orleans. If Agbaji is ruled out, Jordan Nwora and Gradey Dick are candidates to receive increased playing time.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Tuesday Agbaji will not return to Tuesday's game against the Pelicans due to left knee soreness, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. He finished with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and three...

Impact The Raptors are already pretty thin due to several key injuries, so they will be hoping this is a day-to-day issue. If Agbaji is forced to miss additional time, Jordan Nwora and Gradey Dick could see more opportunities on the wings.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

New career high in boards Agbaji had 13 points (6-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 33 minutes during Sunday's 111-106 win over Charlotte.

Impact Getting the start in place of Scottie Barnes (hand), Agbaji had the best performance of his career on the glass while scoring in double digits for the third time in the last five games. The second-year wing figures to have a much bigger role over the coming weeks while Barnes is sidelined, but he'll need to improve his efficiency if he's going to provide consistent fantasy value.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Will start sans Barnes Agbaji will start Sunday's game against the Hornets, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Agbaji will replace Scottie Barnes (hand) in the starting lineup. Barnes is expected to miss multiple weeks, so Agbaji could be a regular starter moving forward if he impresses against Charlotte. Agbaji hasn't made any starts for the Raptors, but he drew 10 starts with Utah earlier in the season, posting 7.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 27.2 minutes during those contests.

Gets buckets Monday Agbaji provided 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Monday's 130-122 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Agbaji looked remarkably in-sync in Toronto's offense despite Monday representing just his sixth game with his new team. The second-year guard was an active cutter and flowed with the offense for open looks. Notably, he logged more playing time than Bruce Brown on Monday, while co-existing with a strong performance from rookie Gradey Dick (18 points).

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Best showing for new team Agbaji totaled 14 points (5-6 FG, 4-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal across 17 minutes off the bench during Friday's 123-121 victory over the Hawks.

Impact After managing only 15 points across his first four games as a Raptor, Agbaji nearly matched that total in one night Friday. RJ Barrett (knee) being out may have helped Agbaji get into a groove, but when the Toronto roster is fully healthy it's not clear if there will be a significant role for the 14th overall pick in the 2022 Draft.
