2-12 · 15TH IN EASTERN CONFERENCE
Raptors Made Clear What This Season is About With Questionable Decisions vs Grizzlies The Toronto Raptors have opted to prioritize development at the expense of winning by using Gradey Dick in the team’s closing lineup
Markquis Nowell - Out indefinitely with hammy strain Nowell sustained a left hamstring strain Saturday in the G League Raptors 905's 97-91 win over the Delaware Blue Coats and is considered out indefinitely, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet...
Impact The Raptors' G League affiliate hasn't provided a precise timeline for Nowell's return, though Murphy notes that the rookie point guard's injury is viewed as more than a day-to-day concern. As a result, Nowell's potential availability for the G League Next Up Game on Feb. 18 during NBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis could be affected. One of Toronto's three two-way players, Nowell has made just one four-minute appearance at the NBA level but has been a key performer for the 905 throughout the campaign. Over his 20 total appearances in the G League in 2023-24, Nowell is averaging 15.3 points (on 42.4 percent shooting from the field), 8.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 2.6 three-pointers and 2.0 steals in 33.1 minutes.

Immanuel Quickley - Dishes 10 dimes in Monday's loss Quickley produced eight points (3-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 108-100 loss to Memphis.
Impact It's only the second time in 12 games as a Raptor that Quickley has failed to score in double digits. The fourth-year guard has been productive since being traded by the Knicks, averaging 16.7 points, 6.1 assists, 4.6 boards, 2.7 threes and 0.8 steals while starting 12 straight games for Toronto.

Scottie Barnes - Teases triple-double Monday Barnes posted 22 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and six blocks over 41 minutes during Monday's 108-100 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact The third-year forward continues to flash his sky-high upside, nearly recording his third triple-double of the season while also setting a new career high in blocks. Barnes has racked up multiple rejections in three straight contests and nine of the last 15, adding another category to his fantasy arsenal, and over that 15-game stretch he's averaging 19.1 points, 6.7 boards, 5.5 assists, 1.9 threes, 1.9 blocks and 1.1 steals.

RJ Barrett - Pops for team-high 29 Barrett produced 29 points (12-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block across 37 minutes during Monday's 108-100 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact The fifth-year guard led the Raptors in scoring on the night, but Scottie Barnes was the only other Toronto player to deliver more than 12 points. Barrett has scored at least 20 points in seven of the last nine games as he quickly gets comfortable with his new team, averaging 22.7 points, 7.3 boards, 3.9 assists and 1.4 threes over that stretch while shooting 57.9 percent from the floor.

Raptors Share Health Update for Jakob Poeltl The Toronto Raptors say Jakob Poeltl is progressing well and should return to the court very very soon
JANUARY 22 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Jakob Poeltl - Positive comments from coach Coach Darko Rajakovic said Monday that Poeltl is progressing well in his recovery from an ankle injury, and while the center remains out Monday against Memphis, the Raptors are hop...
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.
