Chris Paul officially announced his retirement from the NBA after 21 seasons.
Analysis: Paul was waived by the Raptors on Friday afternoon and shortly afterwards, took to Instagram to announce his official retirement, saying, âThis is it! After over 21 years, I'm stepping away from basketball.â Paul had previously announced that this would be his final season, but then tensions flared with the Clippers earlier in the year, which led to his departure from the team. Paul was a 12-time All-Star, 11-time All-NBA point guard, five-time assists leader, nine-time All-NBA defensive team honoree, and two-time Olympic gold medalist with the United States men's basketball team. He averaged 16.8 points, 9.2 assists, and 4.4 rebounds in his career and will undoubtedly be a Hall of Famer. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes puts up 17/7/5/3/4 line vs. Pistons
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 5:52 PM
Scottie Barnes finished with 17 points (5-of-13 FGs), seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and four blocks in a 113-95 loss to the Pistons on Wednesday.
Analysis: Barnes has enjoyed an excellent season, and he will enter the All-Star break on a high note, even if it wasn't enough for the Raptors to get a win. This was his fourth game with at least four blocks over the past two weeks, and he has averaged 18.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.8 blocks while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor during that stretch. After playing in the All-Star Game, Barnes will look to finish out the final two months of the regular season strong. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl (back) logs 20 minutes in return
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 5:46 PM
Jakob Poeltl returned to the lineup on Wednesday and contributed nine points (4-of-7 FGs) and six rebounds against the Pistons.
Analysis: Poeltl suited up for the first time since December and was immediately back in the starting unit. He played 20 minutes and wasn't productive, but it was a positive step to see him back out on the floor. It has been a rough season to this point for Poeltl, but he'll get some time to rest more during the All-Star break. He'll look to have a more productive final two months of the regular season. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl (back) available vs. Detroit
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 11:55 AM
Jakob Poeltl
Jakob Poeltl (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: For the first time since December 21, Poeltl is available to play. He's yet to come off the bench this season, so he'll likely be in the starting lineup. However, the 7-footer will be under a minutes restriction, so fantasy managers should expect to still see plenty of Sandro Mamukelashvili. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl (back) questionable Wednesday vs. DET
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 9:18 AM
Omer Osman
According to Raptors reporter Omer Osman, Jakob Poeltl (back) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Pistons.
Analysis: Poeltl could return to the court after nearly two months on the shelf, though he'll surely be on a minutes restriction if he does. With Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) already ruled out, Sandro Mamukelashvili could be in line for big minutes. |

Trayce Jackson-Davis Trayce Jackson-Davis plays 16 minutes in TOR debut
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 11:39 AM
Trayce Jackson-Davis tallied 10 points (2-of-4 FGs, 6-of-10 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in Sunday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Jackson-Davis made the most of his debut appearance for the Raptors, recording a double-double. While 16 minutes aren't a big deal for most players, TJD met or exceeded that number just 14 times with the Warriors this season before being traded. The issue moving forward is that the Raptors were shorthanded on Sunday: Jakob Poeltl (back) was out, and Collin Murray-Boyles left the game in the first half with a thumb injury. While Jackson-Davis played well, fantasy managers should not overreact. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett posts 20 points, eight rebounds vs. IND
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 11:38 AM
RJ Barrett recorded 20 points (7-of-15 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Back in the lineup after sitting out Thursday's win over the Bulls, Barrett had a good afternoon against the Pacers. All that was missing from his stat line was a blocked shot. Unfortunately, Barrett's fantasy value has tailed off after a hot start to the season. But, in fairness to him, there may have been too much expected of Barrett in terms of fantasy value. While days like Sunday are certainly possible, Carter is a better option in points leagues than category leagues. |

Sandro Mamukelashvili Mamukelashvili hits three triples, scores 17
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 11:38 AM
Sandro Mamukelashvili amassed 17 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and three three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: With Jakob Poeltl (back) still out and Collin Murray-Boyles exiting before halftime after aggravating his left thumb injury, the Raptors needed a bit more from Mamukelashvili on Sunday. As has been the case multiple times this season, Mamu stepped up, and he's scored at least 14 points in four consecutive games. Poeltl is getting closer to a return, but it's challenging to envision a scenario in which Mamukelashvili falls off the radar entirely. He's played that well in his first season in Toronto. |

Scottie Barnes Scottie Barnes posts 25/14/6/2/4 line vs. Indiana
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 11:37 AM
Scottie Barnes finished Sunday's win over the Pacers with 25 points (12-of-20 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 14 rebounds, six assists, two steals and four blocked shots.
Analysis: The Raptors grabbed control of Sunday's game with a dominant third quarter, and Barnes led the way. The All-Star forward shot 8-of-9 from the field in the period, doing most of his damage in the restricted area. Barnes finished with a robust stat line, giving fantasy managers a welcome boost to end Week 16. The Raptors, who only play three games in Week 17, are off until Wednesday night against the Pistons. |

Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley (ankle) upgraded to available
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 8:20 AM
NBA Injury Report
Immanuel Quickley (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Quickley is good to go after spraining his right ankle during practice on Friday. He'll take on his usual role as the starting point guard, with Jamal Shead missing out on an opportunity to join the starters. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl (back, conditioning) out vs. Indiana
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 7:22 AM
Blake Murphy
Jakob Poeltl (back, conditioning) is out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Poeltl has been out since December, and that won't change on Sunday. However, the past few days have been spent getting his conditioning up to par rather than rehabbing his lower back, which is a positive. Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili will again play most of the available minutes, and Trayce Jackson-Davis is available to make his Raptors debut. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett (knee) removed from injury report
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 7:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
RJ Barrett (knee) is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Barrett was held out of Thursday's win over the Bulls due to injury management. His return to the lineup means that Ja'Kobe Walter will head to the bench. While productive against the Bulls, Walter should only be rostered in dynasty leagues when the Raptors' perimeter rotation is whole. |

Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley (ankle) questionable vs. Indiana
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 7:03 AM
Blake Murphy
Immanuel Quickley (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Quickley sprained his right ankle during Friday's practice and is now questionable for Sunday afternoon's game. Jamal Shead has been the replacement when Quickley's been unavailable in the past, and that should be the case against the Pacers if Toronto has to go that route. |

Jakob Poeltl Jakob Poeltl (back) practiced Saturday
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 6:54 AM
Blake Murphy
Jakob Poeltl (back) was a full participant in Saturday's practice.
Analysis: Poeltl, who has not appeared in a game since December, has been plagued by a lower back injury since training camp. With the 7-footer going through practice on Saturday, there's a chance that he plays on Sunday against the Pacers. Given the time that Poeltl has missed, conditioning is a concern. While his return would mean fewer minutes for Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili, Poeltl is unlikely to take on a full workload immediately. |

Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley notches 24 points, five assists
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 4:33 PM
Immanuel Quickley amassed 24 points (9-of-20 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, five assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Since missing two games in mid-January, Quickley has scored at least 20 points in five of his last ten games. During this stretch, the Raptors' guard has been a top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. As a result, Quickley continues to exceed his Yahoo! ADP (73), approaching top-50 per-game value. |

Brandon Ingram Brandon Ingram drops game-high 33 points vs. CHI
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 4:32 PM
Brandon Ingram accounted for 33 points (12-of-20 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one block and five three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Ingram was on a roll from the opening tip, scoring 22 points on 9-of-16 shooting in the first half. The Raptors' forward, who many believe to have deserved a trip to the All-Star Game, is up to seven 30-point games this season. More importantly, Ingram has appeared in 51 of the Raptors' 53 games thus far. He's stayed healthy in his first season in Toronto, much to the delight of fantasy managers. |

Jakob Poeltl Poeltl (back) could return before All-Star break
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 11:58 AM
Blake Murphy
The Raptors are hopeful that Jakob Poeltl (back) will be able to return before the All-Star break.
Analysis: Thursday's game against the Bulls will be the 23rd that Poeltl has missed since aggravating a lower back injury during a December 21 loss to the Nets. After Thursday, the Raptors have two games remaining on the schedule before the All-Star break. Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili have picked up the slack in Poeltl's absence, and both have been productive enough to merit being rostered. |

RJ Barrett RJ Barrett (injury management) out on THU
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 6:37 AM
RJ Barrett (injury management) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Barrett has dealt with his fair share of injuries this season, but his name has also been floated in numerous trade rumors, so it's possible that he is also on his way to another team. Regardless, he will be out on Thursday, which should lead to more minutes for Ja'Kobe Walker and Gradey Dick. |

Trayce Jackson-Davis Report: Raptors acquire Trayce Jackson-Davis
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 5:49 PM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that the Raptors have acquired Trayce Jackson-Davis from the Warriors for a 2026 second-round pick via the Lakers.
Analysis: The 57th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Jackson-Davis' playing time decreased in each of his three seasons with the Warriors. He was essentially passed in the rotation by Quinten Post, a second-round pick in the 2024 draft. Jackson-Davis appeared in 36 games this season, averaging 4.2 points and 3.1 rebounds in 11.1 minutes. This transaction is unlikely to affect fantasy basketball, as the Raptors added a frontcourt player in last summer's draft lottery (Collin Murray-Boyles) and in free agency (Sandro Mamukelashvili). Add in Jakob Poeltl, provided his lower back issues subside, and Jackson-Davis may struggle to carve out a role for himself in Toronto. |

Immanuel Quickley Immanuel Quickley has 23/5/8 line in loss
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 4:35 PM
Immanuel Quickley had 23 points (8-of-12 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists, one steal and six three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Quickley has now made at least six three-pointers in three of his last eight games. An excellent rebounder for a guard, the 26-year-old point guard has had at least five rebounds in six of his last seven games. Quickley also had eight assists and has had at least six assists in two of his last three games. He's provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Raptors will face the Bulls onThursday on the second night of a back-to-back. |
