Won't play vs. Orlando Battle (nose) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
Impact Battle suffered a nasal fracture Wednesday during a stint in the G League, which has ruled him out for Sunday's game in Orlando. Toronto will thin in the frontcourt with Ochai Agbaji (ankle) set to sit out this game against the Magic, with RJ Barrett, Gradey Dick and Jonathan Mogbo likely getting more minutes.

Out with nasal fracture Battle (nose) will not play Friday versus Chicago due to a nasal fracture, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Battle was recalled from the Raptors' G League affiliate team Thursday but will not play due to his injury. He was likely called up due to Scottie Barnes (hip) also potentially missing time, but Battle will not suit up Friday. Battle's next chance to play for Toronto will be Sunday against the Magic.

Recalled to NBA Toronto recalled Battle from the G League's Raptors 905 on Thursday.
Impact Battle has been doing double duty quite often during the 2024-25 campaign, playing 12 games for the 905 and making 39 appearances for Toronto. After being recalled by the parent club Thursday, the 23-year-old forward will get another opportunity to prove his worth. He's averaging 5.5 points and 1.8 rebounds across 12.6 minutes per game on the NBA level this season.

Heats up off bench Battle put up 14 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 11 minutes of action during the 131-108 loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday.
Impact The rookie wing had his second-highest scoring game as a pro despite the loss, perhaps proving to the Raptors they made the right choice in promoting him from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract last week. Despite the solid outing, Battle should remain a non-factor in most fantasy leagues due to his lack of volume. He'll also be one of the main victims once Brandon Ingram officially joins the lineup, although it appears that could be quite a ways off at this point. Battle's next chance to take the court comes Friday against the Heat.
FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Converted to standard deal Friday The Raptors converted Battle's two-way contract into a three-year standard deal Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Impact Battle has seen the majority of his playing time at the G League level of late, though he has shown enough flashes to latch onto the club via a three-year deal. The undrafted rookie out of Ohio State has appeared in 35 regular-season outings with Toronto, averaging 5.4 points and 1.8 rebounds across 12.6 minutes per contest. He is also shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from beyond the arc while averaging 3.1 three-point attempts per game.
FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Back in rotation Wednesday Battle closed with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 138-107 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Battle suited up for the first time in eight games, playing at least 10 minutes for the first time in over a month. Although he was a consistent part of the rotation to begin the season, his role has dwindled of late, to the point where he is rarely seen outside of G League appearances.
FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE
Three-point threat for Toronto Battle posted nine points (3-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 125-71 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Battle continues to be a consistent threat for the Raptors from beyond the arc. The undrafted rookie forward is shooting an impressive 43.1 percent from deep this season on 3.4 attempts per game, making him a valuable asset off the bench.

Left off injury report Battle (ankle) will be active for Thursday's game against Brooklyn.
Impact Battle suffered a sprained ankle while playing in the G League last week but has been given the green light to suit up Thursday for Toronto. With Bruce Brown (knee) out and Scottie Barnes (ankle) questionable, Battle could see a sizeable role off the bench against the Nets.
DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Out Monday with ankle sprain Battle (ankle) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Bulls.
Impact The two-way player presumably sprained his left ankle Friday, when he played 23 minutes in the G League Raptors 905's 132-109 loss to the Delaware Blue Coats. Though Battle is now back with the parent club, he'll be sidelined Monday as the Raptors kick off a three-game week. Battle had been part of the rotation in Toronto's last game Thursday in Miami, but he could find minutes more difficult to come by once the Raptors get Scottie Barnes (ankle), Bruce Brown (knee) and Immanuel Quickley (elbow) back from injuries.
DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with ankle sprain Battle won't play in Sunday in the G League Raptors 905's game against the Maine Celtics due to a left ankle sprain, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Battle has played double-digit minutes at the NBA level in eight of Toronto's last 10 games, but the two-way player may have hurt his ankle at some point during Thursday's 114-104 loss to the Heat. The Raptors haven't provided word on the severity of the ankle sprain, but Battle will also remain out for the NBA club's next game against the Bulls on Monday.
DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Huge night off bench Battle registered 24 points (9-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 119-93 win over the Pelicans.
Impact The undrafted rookie took advantage of the absence of Gradey Dick (calf) from the lineup, erupting for career-best offensive numbers. In fact, Battle hadn't even scored in double digits or drained more than three three-pointers in a game prior to Wednesday. The Raptors could give the Ohio State product a look in the starting lineup if he continues to thrive when given the chance.

Plays well with nine points Battle chipped in nine points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 102-100 loss to the Pistons.
Impact Battle saw his largest workload of the campaign with Gradey Dick (calf) on the shelf, and he made the most of his minutes. He had a very limited role prior to Monday, but he's shown some nice flashes during his rookie campaign. Through 17 games, he's shooting a respectable 38.5 percent from beyond the arc.
NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Plays 19 minutes in loss Battle finished with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 19 minutes during Saturday's 112-101 loss to Minnesota.
Impact With RJ Barrett (shoulder), Immanuel Quickley (pelvis), Kelly Olynyk (back), Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) and Bruce Brown (knee) all sidelined to start the season, Battle has found himself with a consistent role in Toronto's rotation. He's played at least 15 minutes in all three games thus far, totaling 27 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and a block.

Impact Battle averaged 15.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 31.4 minutes across 35 appearances for Ohio State in 2023-24 before going undrafted in the 2024 NBA Draft. As a two-way player, he will split time this season between the NBA and G League.
