Collin Murray-Boyles News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Coming off bench Sunday Murray-Boyles is not in the Raptors' starting lineup against the Bucks on Sunday.

Impact Murray-Boyles has started in each of his last 16 outings and averaged 9.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.3 steals over 28.8 minutes over that span. However, the rookie first-rounder will come off the bench for the first time since Dec. 31 while Jakob Poeltl joins Immanuel Quickley, Brandon Ingram, RJ Barrett and Ja'Kobe Walter in the Raptors' starting lineup.

Sticks in starting lineup Murray-Boyles posted 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 110-101 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Despite Jakob Poeltl being available, Murray-Boyles remained in the starting lineup Thursday. The center rotation in Toronto could be able to get weird, with all three candidates now healthy and available. For now, Murray-Boyles appears to be the preferred option, making him a viable 12-team asset. However, there is a decent chance Poeltl will eventually supplant him in the starting lineup, at which point fantasy managers will have to re-evaluate the situation.

Gets green light Thursday Murray-Boyles (thumb) is available for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Still nursing thumb injury Murray-Boyles (thumb) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against Chicago.

Impact Murray-Boyles was sidelined for the Raptors' final game before the All-Star break (Feb. 10 against the Pistons) due to a left thumb sprain that he has been playing through since mid-January, though he was able to play for Team Melo in the Castrol Rising Stars event. Murray-Boyles started in each of his last 15 outings prior to the ASB, but the rookie first-rounder will likely revert to a bench role following due to the return of Jakob Poeltl (back).

Impact Murray-Boyles had missed the Raptors' final game before the All-Star break Wednesday against the Pistons due to a left thumb sprain, but the injury didn't keep him from participating in All-Star weekend festivities. Even so, Murray-Boyles saw by far the least amount of playing time of any of the seven players on the Team Melo roster, and the rookie first-round pick failed to get off the bench for the 25-24 loss to Team Vince in the championship game. Murray-Boyles is still expected to be good to go for the Raptors' first game out of the break Thursday in Chicago, but he could be in store for a smaller role than he's held over the past few weeks after center Jakob Poeltl (back) recently returned to action following a lengthy absence.

Will play in Rising Stars Game Murray-Boyles (thumb) will play in Friday's Rising Stars Game, per the broadcast.

Impact Murray-Boyles aggravated his left thumb injury in Sunday's win over the Pacers and sat out Wednesday's loss to Detroit. However, he'll return for the Rising Stars Game, where he'll suit up for Team Melo alongside Reed Sheppard, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, Jeremiah Fears and Donovan Clingan.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Wednesday Murray-Boyles (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The Raptors labeled the rookie as questionable a few minutes prior to this report, but it sounds like the team will exercise caution leading up to the All-Star break. In his absence, there will be more minutes available for guys like Jamison Battle and Ja'Kobe Walter.

Questionable for Wednesday Murray-Boyles (thumb) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Murray-Boyles, who aggravated his left thumb injury during Sunday's game versus the Pacers, was unable to practice Tuesday and remains day-to-day. With this being the final game before the All-Star break, it wouldn't be surprising if the team held him out to be safe. If he's unable to play, the Raptors could lean more on Jamison Battle and Ja'Kobe Walter.

Won't return Sunday Murray-Boyles aggravated his left thumb injury during Sunday's game versus the Pacers and he will not return, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Murray-Boyles just can't seem to shake this thumb injury, so it'll be interesting to see if he plays Wednesday against the Pistons, or if the Raptors opt to hold him out for their final game heading into the All-Star break. Murray-Boyles will finish with two points (1-1 FG), one block and one turnover across eight minutes.

Terrific line in win Murray-Boyles accumulated 17 points (8-9 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Thursday's 123-107 win over the Bulls.

Impact The Raptors had a quiet trade deadline, and that's good news for the rookie as his role is seemingly locked in going forward. Over his last five games, he's seeing 29.7 minutes per contest with 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.2 blocks on 64.7 percent shooting from the field.

Swats four shots in return Murray-Boyles logged four points (1-2 FG, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and four blocks in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 119-92 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Murray-Boyles didn't really look for his shot in his first game back, but he did a nice job distributing the rock, and he set a career high in blocks. Jakob Poeltl (back) has not made much progress and remains without a timetable to return, so Murray-Boyles will likely be the starting center in Toronto until further notice. Over 14 starts this season, Murray-Boyles has provided averages of 9.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.

Impact The rookie first-rounder is ready to put a four-game absence with a left thumb bruise behind him. With Jakob Poeltl (back) still out, Murray-Boyles should share the center minutes with Sandro Mamukelashvili. Over his past five outings, Murray-Boyles has averaged 12.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in 33.3 minutes per game.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Murray-Boyles (thumb) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Knicks.

Impact Murray-Boyles has sat out the past four games for the Raptors, but he participated in Tuesday's practice, and the team will see how he responds to the increased workload before deciding on his status for Wednesday's game. If he is cleared to return, Sandro Mamukelishvili would likely head back to the second unit and Jamison Battle could drop from the rotation entirely.

Not playing Sunday Murray-Boyles (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Questionable for Sunday Murray-Boyles (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game in Oklahoma City.

Impact Murray-Boyles has missed the past three games with a bruised thumb on his shooting hand, but it looks like there's a chance he'll be able to get back out there Sunday evening. If the rookie is cleared to return, Sandro Mamukelashvili would likely head back to the second unit, and Jonathan Mogbo could drop from the rotation entirely.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
