Ice-cold Wednesday Banton (finger) tallied 12 points (3-19 FG, 1-7 3PT, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, six assists and a steal over 30 minutes of Wednesday's 95-90 Summer League win over the Lakers.

Impact After missing early portions of Summer League with a finger injury, Banton made his Celtics debut Wednesday. He struggled to find his shooting touch, going a miserable 3-of-19 from the field while connecting on just one of his seven attempts from beyond the arc. However, Banton managed to dish out six assists without coughing up a turnover, showcasing his playmaking ability at 6-foot-7.

Impact After signing with the Celtics in early July, Banton had been held out of Summer League action due to a finger injury. However, he appears to be past the injury considering he's been upgraded to available for Wednesday's tilt.

MARCH 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Friday Banton (thumb) is out for Friday's game versus the Pistons, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Banton will miss his 12th straight game Friday due to a sprained thumb. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Washington.

MARCH 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday Banton (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Banton has appeared in a total of just 27 games for the Raptors this season, and he hasn't touched the court since Feb. 26, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy hoops.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Sunday Banton (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Milwaukee, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Banton is a negligible part of the rotation for the Raptors, so his absence from the active roster will not impact fantasy hoops.

MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Banton (thumb) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Minnesota, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Banton remains out due to a thumb sprain. His prolonged absence hasn't impacted Toronto's rotation.

MARCH 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Thursday Banton (thumb) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Thunder, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Banton's absence is unlikely to affect Toronto's rotation. His next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Minnesota.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Tuesday Banton is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets due to a thumb sprain, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Banton was recalled to the Raptors on Sunday, but he is apparently still dealing with a thumb sprain and is unlikely to suit up Tuesday. However, his expected absence shouldn't have a major impact, as he's garnered a meager reserve role when available at the NBA level this season.

MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Called up from G League The Raptors recalled Banton from the G League's Raptors 905 on Sunday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact This is an odd move, as the Raptors 905 are in the midst of a playoff race while Toronto is off until Tuesday, but it sounds as if the coaching staff wants to see Banton in practice to determine whether he can contribute on a lesser role off the bench. Banton has made 27 appearances in The Association this season and is averaging 4.4 points across 9.3 minutes per game.

MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still tending to thumb injury Banton (thumb) didn't play Saturday in the G League's Raptors 905's 129-114 win over the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

Impact Though he was reassigned to the G League club last Wednesday, Banton didn't appear in games Thursday and Saturday versus Fort Wayne after he suffered a left thumb sprain while practicing for the 905 earlier in the week. Banton remains on his G League assignment and won't be available Monday for Toronto's road game in Denver, though he could suit up in the 905's matchup with the G League Ignite.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Tuesday Banton (thumb sprain) has been ruled out Tuesday against the Bulls.

Impact Banton has been used very sparingly for the Raptors, and now his path to minutes is even trickier with Will Barton newly added to the squad.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with thumb sprain Toronto recalled Banton from the G League's Raptors 905 and is listing him as doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against the Bulls due to a left thumb sprain.

Impact Banton and Christian Koloko (ankle) were both sent to the G League earlier Tuesday to get a practice in before returning to the NBA club, but both players have emerged from the workout with injuries. Banton hasn't been a regular part of head coach Nick Nurse's rotation of late anyway, so his likely absence for Tuesday's game shouldn't affect how the minutes are distributed among the Toronto wings and guards.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set for brief G League stint Toronto assigned Banton to the G League's Raptors 905 on Tuesday, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Impact According to Jacob, Banton, Christian Koloko and Joe Wieskamp will all practice with the 905 before rejoining the NBA team ahead of Tuesday's game against the Bulls. None of the three players have been featured in the rotation of late, with Banton seeing just 18 total minutes of court time across Toronto's last eight games.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to NBA Toronto recalled Banton to the NBA club from the G League's Raptors 905 on Sunday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Banton and Christian Koloko will both be available for Sunday's game in Cleveland after playing in the G League on Saturday night. Banton posted 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds and six assists in the 905's win over the Motor City Cruise, but he's unlikely to garner a significant role at the NBA level.

FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled to NBA Toronto recalled Banton from the G League's Raptors 905 on Wednesday, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Impact Banton will be available for Wednesday's matchup with the Spurs. However, the second-year guard hasn't played double-digit minutes in the NBA since Dec. 18.

FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 20 points Banton logged 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists and three rebounds across 28 minutes during the 905's 126-117 loss to Maine on Wednesday.

Impact Banton continues to be on the outside of the NBA club's rotation, so he's spending time in the G League in order to stay fresh in a larger role. The guard has 41 points across his first two G League games since re-joining the 905.

FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Enters 10-man rotation Wednesday Banton (hip) played nine minutes and provided zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in Wednesday's 131-128 loss to the Jazz.

Impact In a rare move, head coach Nick Nurse elected to expand the Raptors rotation to 10 men in a competitive game, allowing Banton to see his first minutes with Toronto since Dec. 18. Over the six weeks in between, Banton had spent time in the G League and had more recently missed games with a right hip pointer, but he was removed from the injury report Monday. He'll be a fringe member of the rotation moving forward, likely playing only when Toronto is missing one of its starters.

FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available Monday Banton is available for Monday's matchup against the Suns, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact After missing the Raptors' past 21 games, Banton is officially active for Monday's contest against Phoenix. Prior to sustaining his hip injury, Banton was averaging 5.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 10.1 minutes over his first 22 appearances of the season.
