Questionable Thursday Achiuwa (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.

Impact Achiuwa has been unavailable for a month and a half due to his ankle injury, but he's been trending toward a return recently. It's unclear whether he'll be available for the first half of a back-to-back set Thursday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in action in the coming days.

Still out Tuesday Raptors coach Nick Nurse said Achiuwa (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's matchup with the Clippers but is "getting closer," Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Achiuwa will miss his 22nd straight game Tuesday with a right ankle sprain. However, all signs point towards his return coming soon. Achiuwa's next chance to suit up is Thursday's contest versus the Grizzlies.

Unlikely to play Tuesday Achiuwa (ankle) went through most of Monday's practice but is doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Clippers, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Impact Achiuwa hasn't played since Nov. 9 due to partial ligament tears in his right ankle. However, his return to practice and doubtful injury designation are good signs that he will be able to return to action soon.

Sidelined a few more weeks Achiuwa (ankle) will remain out for a few more weeks, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Achiuwa's ankle has already sidelined him for over a month, but it appears he may near the two-month mark before he's able to retake the floor. Without Achiuwa around to provide frontcourt depth, Thaddeus Young, Christian Koloko, Pascal Siakam and Khem Birch figure handle most of the minutes at center.

At least 2-to-3 weeks from return Head coach Nick Nurse said Monday that Achiuwa (ankle) will remain out for another 2-to-3 weeks before the Raptors have a clearer timeline for his return, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca...

Impact Achiuwa last played Nov. 9, when he exited a 116-109 win over the Rockets after suffering partial ligament tears in his right ankle. Though Achiuwa is no longer believed to be sporting a walking boot to protect his ankle, he'll still need a few more weeks or rest and rehab before ramping up his activities. The big man's absence looks like it could stretch into late December or perhaps the early portion of 2023. Thaddeus Young, Chris Boucher, Christian Koloko and Juancho Hernangomez look to be the prime candidates to absorb most of the leftover frontcourt minutes that don't go to Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes.

Removes walking boot, still out Achiuwa (ankle) is out of his walking boot but is still a "ways away," per head coach Nick Nurse, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Achiuwa was diagnosed with partial tears in ligaments in his right ankle and remains out indefinitely. It's encouraging to see him out of the walking boot after the expected 10 days, but it appears he still has multiple hurdles to clear before returning to game action. In his absence, Chris Boucher (illness) and Thaddeus Young will continue to be candidates for increased roles.
