Garrett Temple News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Taken off shelf Friday Temple finished with zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and two steals in seven minutes during Friday's 111-86 loss to Charlotte.

Impact For those who are wondering, yes, Temple is still part of the Raptors' roster. In what was one of the team's worst performances of the season, Temple moved into the rotation for just the fourth time, with all four appearances coming during garbage time. Clearly, there are zero fantasy implications here.

Cracks rotation Saturday Temple notched zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in five minutes during Saturday's 129-111 win over the Pacers.

Impact Temple moved into the rotation for just the second time this season, failing to record a stat. At this point in his career, Temple is simply on the team to provide a veteran presence, called upon during garbage time only.

Set to return to Toronto Temple (knee) intends to sign a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Raptors once free agency opens Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Temple played in just 28 regular-season games for the Raptors and missed some time due to a back injury and for personal reasons. He played exclusively off the bench and averaged 1.9 points, 1.1 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 0.6 steals across 8.1 minutes per game. The 15-year guard out of LSU will stay in Toronto for a third consecutive season and serve as a veteran depth piece.

Won't return due to knee injury Temple has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Spurs due to a left knee sprain, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Temple suffered the injury late in the first quarter when he got tangled up with Malaki Branham when the latter drove to the basket. Temple had to be helped to the locker room after being checked on by trainers and was ruled out for the rest of the game shortly after. The Raptors are down to just seven available players, so Jamison Battle, Ochai Agbaji and A.J. Lawson will see a heavy workload for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Logs 20+ minutes Monday Temple closed Monday's 129-89 loss to Phoenix with five points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 24 minutes.

Impact Temple played at least 20 minutes for the fourth straight game, an indication of just how silly things have become up north. Despite the fact he is not part of their long-term plans, Temple has played consistent minutes of late. Over the past four games, he is averaging 5.3 points, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals in 22.6 minutes per contest.

Plays nine minutes in return Temple (personal) tallied zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in nine minutes Friday in the Raptors' 118-109 win over the Jazz.

Impact After he was away from the team for its last five games while tending to a personal matter, Temple was available Friday in the front end of a back-to-back set. Though he hadn't played in coach's decisions in the Raptors' prior nine games before his recent five-game absence, Temple was called upon to play some light minutes off the bench Friday since Toronto had ruled out eight players due to injury or rest and then had Ja'Kobe Walter (quadricep) exit the game for good in the third quarter. Toronto will likely get RJ Barrett (rest) back for Saturday's game against the Wizards, so Temple could end up moving back out of the rotation.

Set to return against Utah Temple has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Jazz, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Temple has missed the last 14 games for the Raptors for personal reasons. It remains to be seen how much time the 38-year-old veteran will play against Utah, but it is safe to assume he won't be a factor from a fantasy perspective, playing only 3.9 minutes per game when available this season.

Ruled out for Sunday Temple (personal reasons) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

Impact Temple will miss a 13th straight game for the Raptors as he deals with a personal matter. The 38-year-old veteran has played in 17 games for Toronto this season, rarely seeing the floor when healthy, averaging 3.9 minutes per game.

Remains out for personal reasons Temple remains out for Friday's game against the Bulls due to personal reasons.

Impact The veteran guard remains away from the team, and his next chance to rejoin the club arrives Sunday in Orlando. With that said, Temple has logged a mere 3.9 minutes per game over 17 appearances with the Raptors in 2024-25, so his absence shouldn't have a noticeable effect on Toronto's rotation.

Available to face Milwaukee Temple (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Temple was upgraded to available earlier Tuesday, and now it's been confirmed he'll be available for the Raptors in this tilt against Milwaukee. That said, he played just eight minutes in the season opener, so he's not expected to have a lot of fantasy upside, even if he's back in the rotation.

Upgraded to probable Temple (back) is listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Bucks.

Impact Temple has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Tuesday's NBA Cup game, and he will likely suit up after a nine-game absence streak. While the veteran's status bodes well for a return to game action, he will likely remain a game-time call ahead of tipoff at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Upgraded to questionable Temple (back) is now questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Temple was previously listed as doubtful but now has a chance to return following a three-game injury absence. However, the veteran wasn't part of the rotation before his injury, so even if he's cleared to suit up, he's not guaranteed playing time.

Impact Temple will likely miss a fourth straight game due to a back injury. However, he wasn't part of the rotation before the injury, so his absence shouldn't impact other players' playing time.
