Otto Porter Jr. - Will remain out Monday Porter (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Porter will miss an eighth straight game due to a right knee sprain. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus Miami, but it's unclear when he'll be cleared to play again.

Jakob Poeltl - Progressing, re-evaluation coming Poeltl (ankle) took part in some light shooting at Sunday's practice and is due to be re-evaluated in about a week, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Impact The Raptors haven't issued a formal update on Poeltl's status since announcing Tuesday that he would be shut down for at least two weeks with a left ankle sprain, but the center's ability to get back on the court Sunday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- is at least a somewhat encouraging sign. Until he's re-evaluated, however, the team likely won't offer up a potential target date for Poeltl's return to game action. Thaddeus Young has served as the Raptors' starting center in each of the last three games in Poeltl's stead, while two-way player Jontay Porter has taken on an expanded role off the bench as Young's top backup.

Insider Shares 'Prime Teams' in Pursuit of Raptors' Pascal Siakam The Indiana Pacers and Philadelphia 76ers are considered ‘prime teams’ to pursue Pascal Siakam in trade talks with the Toronto Raptors

Jontay Porter - 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.

Jalen McDaniels - Inflicts damage in garbage time McDaniels ended Friday's 145-113 loss to the Jazz with 15 points (4-5 FG, 7-10 FT), three rebounds and one steal across seven minutes.
Impact McDaniels entered the game midway through the fourth quarter and drained 15 points in just 7 minutes on the floor. Although the game's outcome was sealed, McDaniels' slashing aggression resulted in 10 free-throw attempts, a shocking total when you consider his overall court time. With new playmakers like RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley in the headlines, it's easy to discount McDaniels, but explosive totals like this could help his chances to make a bigger impact down the line.
JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Pascal Siakam - Posts 27 points in return Siakam registered 27 points (8-14 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 145-113 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Despite all the new pieces at Toronto's disposal, Siakam turned in an old-school total in the loss. Rumors continue to swirl about Siakam's future with the team, and it's in the interest of both parties to showcase him. His numbers have dipped a bit in January, averaging 24.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists over six games.

Pascal Siakam - Available for Friday Siakam (back) is available for Friday's game against the Jazz, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact After missing Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Siakam has the green light to play with no word of any restrictions. Dennis Schroder moved into the starting lineup Wednesday with the Raptors going smaller, but he will likely move back to a bench role.
JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Otto Porter Jr. - Ruled out Friday Porter (knee) will not play in Friday's game against the Jazz.
Impact This will be the seventh game in a row that Porter will miss, and the Raptors continue to slap doubtful tags on him prior to ruling him out.
