MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Barrett will miss a ninth straight game but is nearing a return to game action and just needs to reach the final stages of re-conditioning after his time away from the team.

Mouhamadou Gueye - Iffy for Sunday Gueye is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the 76ers due to an illness, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Gueye's illness has him in danger of missing Sunday's contest. The two-way player is averaging 1.8 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 9.2 minutes across his last five appearances.

D.J. Carton - Ruled out for Sunday Carton (ankle) will remain sidelined for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Carton has not played since March 5 and is in line to miss his 12th straight game. The rookie's next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Lakers.
MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE
Immanuel Quickley - Won't play Sunday Quickley (conditioning) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Raptors, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
Impact Quickley will miss his sixth straight contest Sunday while returning to competitive conditioning. Javon Freeman-Liberty will likely continue to start in his absence. Quickley's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with the Lakers.
MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE
RJ Barrett - Questionable for Sunday Barrett (conditioning) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup with the 76ers, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
Impact Barrett has been sidelined for the last eight games due to a personal situation. Although he rejoined the team earlier in the week, he has not suited up, as he continues to get his conditioning back up to par. If he does ultimately get the green light Sunday, Toronto could still opt to ease him back into the swing of things. The forward had averaged 20.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 33.7 minutes per game over 27 appearances with the Raptors since being acquired from the Knicks in late December.

Ochai Agbaji - 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.

Garrett Temple - Chips in 15 off bench Wednesday Temple totaled 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 145-101 loss to the Knicks.
Impact The 37-year-old wing has seen a significant role in the Raptors' injury-ravaged rotation over the last week, and Temple's 15 points and six boards were both season highs. With RJ Barrett (conditioning) and Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) both about to rejoin the lineup, however, Temple will likely be the first player bumped to the end of the bench for the rebuilding team.
MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE
Kelly Olynyk - Teases triple-double against Knicks Olynyk logged 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and eight assists in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 145-101 loss to New York.
Impact The veteran center has dished 27 assists over the last three games as the Raptors run the offense through him in the absence of Immanuel Quickley (personal). Since moving into the starting lineup in early March to replace Jakob Poeltl (finger), Olynyk has averaged 13.7 points, 5.7 assists, 5.6 boards, 1.2 steals, 1.1 threes and 0.8 blocks over the last 12 contests, and Poeltl's chances of returning before the end of the regular season are shrinking with each Toronto loss.
MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE
Gradey Dick - Pops for career-high 23 in loss Dick finished Wednesday's 145-101 loss to the Knicks with 23 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and one rebound in 30 minutes.
Impact The rookie guard led the Raptors in scoring while setting a new career high as he made his 10th straight start for the injury-ravaged club. Dick has only scored in double digits five times over that stretch, displaying some unsurprising consistency issues, but the 13th overall pick in the 2023 Draft has mostly held up well with the extra usage and has averaged 12.6 points, 2.6 boards, 2.0 assists and 1.8 threes during that stretch while playing 31.9 minutes a contest. With Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) and RJ Barrett (conditioning) both on the cusp of rejoining the lineup though, Dick's workload could be reduced even if remains in the starting five.
