Starting Sunday Poeltl will start Sunday in Milwaukee.

Impact Poeltl came off the bench in Thursday's win over the Bulls, but he'll return to his starting role Sunday, and it'll be interesting to see how many minutes he's played. Over the past two games, Poeltl has logged a total of just 36 minutes, and he hasn't provided any defensive statistics in either of those outings.

Only two points Thursday Poeltl contributed two points (1-1 FG) and one assist in 16 minutes during Thursday's 110-101 win over Chicago.

Impact Poeltl was barely visible, scoring just two points in 16 minutes. It's been a disastrous season for Poeltl, having played just 23 games thus far, during which he has averaged 9.3 points and 7.3 rebounds. At this point, there is no reason to be holding him, outside of deeper formats.

Coming off bench Thursday Poeltl is not in the Raptors' starting lineup against the Bulls on Thursday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Poeltl missed 24 games spanning from late December to early February due to a back strain, but he was cleared to return for the Raptors' loss to the Pistons on Feb. 11, when he started and recorded nine points and six rebounds over 20 minutes. The veteran center will come off the bench for Thursday's contest while rookie first-rounder Collin Murray-Boyles enters the Raptors' starting five.

Quiet in return to lineup Poeltl finished with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT) and six rebounds in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 113-95 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Seeing his first game action since Dec. 21, Poeltl was on a tight minutes restriction but didn't seem hampered by the back issues that had kept him on the shelf. The veteran center will get the All-Star break to rest up further, but he may need more time after that to ramp up before he'll be allowed to handle a full workload.

Available Wednesday Poeltl (back/reconditioning) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons and will be on an unspecified minutes restriction, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

Impact Poeltl hasn't played since Dec. 21 due to a lower-back strain but will return to action in Toronto's final game before the All-Star break. It's unclear how many minutes he will be limited to, but his return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Sandro Mamukelashvili and Trayce Jackson-Davis. Over 21 regular-season appearances thus far, Poeltl has averaged 9.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 25.3 minutes per contest.

Iffy for Wednesday Poeltl (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Detroit, per Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca.

Impact Poeltl practiced Tuesday, and the Raptors are giving him a chance to return before the All-Star break. If the veteran center suits up for the first time since Dec. 21, the streaming appeal of both Sandro Mamukelashvili of Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) would likely take a big hit.
