Jakob Poeltl News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Set to miss at least one more week Poeltl (back) will be re-evaluated in about one week, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Poeltl has been nursing an ongoing back issue since the preseason, which has put him in and out of the lineup all year long, and the Raptors are looking to get the issue completely sorted out. Sandro Mamukelashvili has an extended runway to enhanced fantasy value, while Collin Murray-Boyles also has an opportunity to claim a more sizable role.

Poeltl's next chance to play is Sunday against the Warriors.

Won't return due to back tightness Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Nets, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Impact Poeltl was cleared to return Sunday after a two-game absence due to a back injury, but he appears to have aggravated the issue during the first half. Sandro Mamukelashvili should start in the second half and see a significant increase in playing time in Poeltl's absence.

Starting against Nets Poeltl (back) is in the starting lineup against the Nets on Sunday, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact With Poeltl returning from a two-game absence, Sandro Mamukelashvili will return to the second unit for Toronto. Poeltl is managing some nagging back soreness, and the team could be cautious with his workload.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Poeltl (back) is expected to play Sunday against the Nets, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Impact Poeltl, who is listed as questionable on the injury report, is on track to return from a two-game absence. If that's the case, Sandro Mamukelashvili will see reduced minutes for the Raptors.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed questionable Poeltl (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Impact Poeltl is tending to a minor back injury, and head coach Darko Rajakovic said Saturday that the team wants to give him enough time to recover so that the injury doesn't linger deeper into the season. Poeltl has already missed two games due to the issue and is at risk of missing a third Sunday. If he winds up sitting, Sandro Mamukelashvili would likely draw another start.

Out Saturday, considered DTD Poeltl (back) won't play in Saturday's game against the Celtics, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Per Grange, head coach Darko Rajakovic said Poeltl's back injury wasn't considered serious, and the big man is considered day-to-day. Poeltl's next chance to play will come Sunday at Brooklyn. In the meantime, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles should handle most of the minutes at center.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play Saturday Poeltl (back) has been downgraded to doubtful for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Poeltl was held out of Thursday's win over the Bucks while managing a back injury. He was initially tagged as questionable for Saturday's game, but it appears the veteran center will be held out of the front end of the Raptors' back-to-back set. Assuming Poeltl is ruled out, Sandro Mamukelashvili would likely start at center for a second consecutive game (and fourth time this season).

Questionable against Boston Poeltl (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact The Raptors continue to monitor Poeltl while he manages a lower-back injury. If the veteran big man doesn't get the green light, Sandro Mamukelashvili would likely draw the start at center and experience a surge in fantasy value.

Ruled out for Thursday Poeltl (injury management) won't suit up for Thursday's game in Milwaukee, Ian Finlayson of Sportsnet reports.

Impact The Raptors haven't played since Monday, and Thursday's game does not come as a back-to-back set, so it's somewhat concerning that Poeltl is taking the night off. Toronto's next two games come as a Saturday-Sunday back-to-back, so there's a chance Poeltl will need to miss at least one more match. With the big man unavailable Thursday night, expect more minutes for Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to questionable Poeltl (injury management) has been downgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Poeltl was initially listed as probable by the Raptors, so this downgrade is a worrying sign for fantasy managers. If this downgrade is any indication, the Raptors are seriously considering a maintenance day for their starting center to address lingering back soreness. If he sits out, the Raptors could lean on Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Thursday Poeltl is listed as probable for Thursday's game against Milwaukee due to back injury management, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Poeltl is at risk of being rested for Thursday's contest due to a lingering back injury. The center has appeared in 20 games this season, averaging 10.1 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 26.2 minutes. Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles would see an uptick in minutes if Poeltl sits.
