Brandon Ingram
Brandon Ingram (ankle) ruled out Tuesday vs. PHI
Mon, Feb 10, 2025, 10:33 AM
Esfandiar Baraheni
Brandon Ingram (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Ingram, who has not appeared in a game since injuring his ankle on December 7, is not healthy enough to make his Raptors debut. When that will change is unknown, and the Raptors won't be able to evaluate Ingram's fit with Scottie Barnes until that happens. For now, fantasy managers should continue to stash BI in an IL+ slot.
Gradey Dick
Gradey Dick (neck) probable Tuesday vs. 76ers
Mon, Feb 10, 2025, 10:28 AM
Esfandiar Baraheni
Gradey Dick (neck) is probable for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia.
Analysis: Gradey injured his neck during the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the Rockets. He passed the necessary concussion tests and appears on track to play against Philadelphia. Gradey has not missed a start since New Year's Eve, and that's likely to continue until Brandon Ingram (ankle) is cleared to make his Raptors debut.
Jakob Poeltl
Jakob Poeltl (hip) to remain out Tuesday vs. PHI
Mon, Feb 10, 2025, 10:19 AM
Esfandiar Baraheni
Jakob Poeltl (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Poeltl will miss a third straight game, which will likely mean another start for Jonathan Mobgo. While the rookie doesn't offer significant value as a scorer, he's tallied 10 points in three straight games. Also, he blocked a career-high four shots in Sunday's loss to Houston. Mogbo stands to be more valuable after the All-Star break, as the Raptors appear headed to the draft lottery.
RJ Barrett
RJ Barrett (concussion) out Tuesday vs. 76ers
Mon, Feb 10, 2025, 10:16 AM
Esfandiar Baraheni
RJ Barrett (concussion) is out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Tuesday's game will be the fifth straight Barrett misses due to the league's concussion protocol. While Ja'Kobe Walter replaced him in the lineup for the first two games, Ochai Agbaji received the nod in the last two. Both players will be worthy of deep-league streaming consideration, with Walter offering a slightly higher offensive ceiling.
Gradey Dick
Gradey Dick (neck) will not return Sunday vs. HOU

Kayla Grey
Gradey Dick (neck) will not return to Sunday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Gradey was injured late in the second quarter of Sunday's game and will not return due to what has been called a neck contusion. The good news is that he passed his first concussion protocol test. If he has to miss time, more minutes may become available to rookie Ja'Kobe Walter, depending on the status of recent addition Brandon Ingram. Ingram has been dealing with an ankle injury.

Brandon Ingram (ankle) remains out vs. Houston

Blake Murphy
Brandon Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out against the Rockets on Sunday.
Analysis: BI was dealt to Toronto at the trade deadline, but prior to that, he had been sidelined since early December with a left ankle sprain. It's unclear when he'll make his debut for the Raptors, but he should play a significant role when he is healthy enough to suit up.
Jakob Poeltl
Jakob Poeltl (hip) ruled out Sunday vs. Rockets
Sat, Feb 8, 2025, 11:00 AM
Jakob Poeltl (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Poeltl left Tuesday's game with a hip pointer and is set to miss the rest of the week. Jonathan Mogbo started in Poeltl's place on Friday against the Thunder. Mogbo played 28 minutes, but wasn't much of a factor for fantasy basketball.
RJ Barrett
RJ Barrett (concussion) out Sunday vs. Rockets
Sat, Feb 8, 2025, 10:57 AM
RJ Barrett (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: No surprise here as Barrett is still yet to clear concussion protocol. The 24-year-old small forward is set to miss his fourth straight game. Ja'Kobe Walter figures to continue to fill in for Barrett, though he's not an enticing streaming option.
Immanuel Quickley
Immanuel Quickley dishes 10 dimes in return
Fri, Feb 7, 2025, 5:18 PM
Immanuel Quickley ended Friday's loss to the Thunder with six points, four rebounds, 10 assists and one three-pointer across 28 minutes.
Analysis: Quickley returned from a one-game absence and had a productive evening as a facilitator. He only took five shots, and he turned the ball over five times, but fantasy managers in need of assists came away satisfied. Toronto's next game is on Sunday at Houston, and Quickley will look to stuff the stat sheet a bit more in that one.
Scottie Barnes
Scottie Barnes delivers monster line in loss
Fri, Feb 7, 2025, 5:00 PM
Scottie Barnes accounted for 21 points in Friday's loss to the Thunder, chipping in five rebounds, four assists, three steals, four blocks and four triples.
Analysis: My goodness! Barnes had his fingerprints all over this one, getting it done on both ends of the court and compiling a massive final stat line for fantasy managers. Barnes can post lines like this on any given night, which makes him such a valuable option to fantasy managers. He'll have a tough test Sunday against the Rockets in Houston.
P.J. Tucker
P.J. Tucker won't play for Raptors
Fri, Feb 7, 2025, 4:35 AM
P.J. Tucker will not suit up for the Raptors after being traded to Toronto by Miami.
Analysis: Tucker is being passed around like a hot potato and reports suggest that he'll part ways with Toronto in the near future. Tucker's contract has been more noteworthy than Tucker has been this year. Tucker, 39, hasn't suited up for a game all season while being included in several trades for cap reasons.
James Wiseman
Toronto Raptors waive James Wiseman
Thu, Feb 6, 2025, 5:08 PM
The Raptors waived James Wiseman.
Analysis: Wiseman went down for the season with an Achilles tear back in October. The 23-year-old center was traded from the Pacers to the Raptors ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. Now the Raptors have waived Wiseman despite his contract including a team option for next season. Toronto currently has two open roster spots while the future for the former No. 2 overall pick remains unclear after stops in Golden State, Detroit, Indiana and Toronto.
RJ Barrett
RJ Barrett (concussion) remains out vs. Thunder
Thu, Feb 6, 2025, 10:09 AM
Josh Lewenberg
RJ Barrett (concussion) has been ruled out against Oklahoma City on Friday.
Analysis: This will be a third straight absence for Barrett, which should mean a third straight start for rookie Ja'Kobe Walter. Walter has scored in double figures and had two steals in each of Toronto's last two games. He isn't a great streaming option, but he'll continue to play a significant role for the Raptors.
Jakob Poeltl
Jakob Poeltl (hip) out Friday against the Thunder
Thu, Feb 6, 2025, 10:08 AM
Jakob Poeltl (hip) is out for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Poeltl left Tuesday's game with a hip pointer and also sat out Wednesday with the same injury. The 29-year-old center is set to miss his second game in a row Friday against the Thunder. Chris Boucher missed the last two games with an illness, but would be in line for a bigger role if he could suit up with Poeltl out.
Immanuel Quickley
Immanuel Quickley (hip) off injury report vs. OKC
Thu, Feb 6, 2025, 10:06 AM
Josh Lewenberg
Immanuel Quickley (hip) is not on the injury report ahead of Friday's matchup with the Thunder.
Analysis: Quickley sat out on Wednesday, which was the second night of a back-to-back. Jamal Shead got the start in his place and was productive across his 30 minutes. With Quickley back, Shead will likely return to a bench role, but IQ hasn't been playing a ton of minutes recently. Shead should still play a significant role off the bench, especially now that Davion Mitchell is in Miami.
James Wiseman
Shams: Pacers trading James Wiseman to Raptors
Thu, Feb 6, 2025, 9:05 AM
Shams Charania
According to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania, the Pacers are sending James Wiseman and cash to the Raptors.
Analysis: Wiseman played in just one game before tearing his Achilles and won't suit up this season. He'll have a chance to compete for frontcourt minutes next year for a Raptors team that's looking to establish its identity.
Davion Mitchell
Raptors trading Davion Mitchell to Heat
Thu, Feb 6, 2025, 5:39 AM
The Raptors are trading Davion Mitchell to the Heat in exchange for PJ Tucker and a future second-round draft pick.
Analysis: Miami has decided to add some depth to its backcourt. The Heat have a solid duo with Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier at point guard and Mitchell can provide some defensive prowess off the bench. This move will lower Mitchell's fantasy ceiling if Miami stays healthy.
P.J. Tucker
Shams: P.J. Tucker rerouted again to Toronto
Thu, Feb 6, 2025, 5:32 AM
Shams Charania
P.J. Tucker has been traded to the Raptors as part of a package that sends Davion Mitchell to Miami.
Analysis: This is now the third time that Tucker has been moved over the past week. He started the season with the Clippers and has been sent to Utah, Miami and now Toronto. Regardless of where he ends up, there isn't a situation in the NBA that will allow Tucker to make an impact in fantasy basketball.
Brandon Ingram
Shams: Pelicans trade Brandon Ingram to Toronto
Wed, Feb 5, 2025, 6:00 PM
Shams Charania
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Pelicans have traded Brandon Ingram to the Raptors for Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, a first-round pick, and a second-round pick.
Analysis: Ingram, who has not played in a game since December 7, was not seen on the Pelicans' bench during the second half of Wednesday's loss in Denver. Sure enough, he's on the move, joining a Raptors squad in a rebuild. Expecting anything from Ingram fantasy-wise would be unrealistic due to the time missed. He's certainly capable of putting up numbers, and there may be some intrigue regarding the potential fit with Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, and RJ Barrett. However, Ingram is also on an expiring contract, which would help Toronto free up money for free agency if he isn't in the franchise's plans beyond the rest of this season.
Gradey Dick
Gradey Dick has 13 points on 17 shots in loss
Wed, Feb 5, 2025, 4:50 PM
Gradey Dick had 13 points (5-of-17 FGs), seven rebounds, one steal and one 3-pointer against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Analysis: Dick's shooting woes continued against the Grizzlies Wednesday. Even with RJ Barrett out, the 21-year-old shooting guard had 13 points on 17 shots, including going 1-of-7 from behind the 3-point line. He's ranked outside the top-200 in fantasy value over the past month and hasn't scored at least 20 points since January 1. Dick needs to do more in the other categories, because his shooting hasn't been good enough to provide fantasy value as a specialist.
