Ochai Agbaji News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Won't play Tuesday Agbaji won't play Tuesday against the Nets due to lower back spasms.

Impact Agbaji was a late addition to the injury report and will miss at least one game with this new issue. Agbaji has been an afterthought in the rotation thus far with an average of 13.9 minutes across nine regular-season appearances.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Does little in spot start Agbaji finished Saturday's 130-120 loss to the 76ers with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds over 15 minutes.

Impact With Jakob Poeltl (back) ruled out for Saturday's game, Agbaji was entered into the starting lineup for the first time this season as the Raptors opted to go with a small-ball lineup. Despite the starting status, Agbaji was primarily used as a defender and ended up seeing less playing time than Sandro Mamukelashvili (17 minutes). The Raptors have two days of rest before their next game against the Nets on Tuesday, so Agbaji will likely revert to a reserve role assuming Poeltl is cleared to play.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Agbaji will be in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Jakob Poeltl (back) will be unavailable for Saturday's game, so Agbaji will get the start as the Raptors decide to go with a small-ball approach to counter Joel Embiid and the 76ers. Joining Agbaji in the first unit will be Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in win Agbaji supplied four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds across 16 minutes during Sunday's 117-104 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Agbaji continues to backup Brandon Ingram but has not been able to produce meaningfully, as he has not eclipsed five points yet this season. However, despite being in competition with Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamison Battle for minutes, Agbaji does not seem to be in danger of losing his spot in the rotation.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Another quiet performance Agbaji dropped three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), a rebound and an assist across 12 minutes in Friday's 122-116 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Agbaji has not been an effective contributor among Toronto's second unit, primarily due to a lack of volume and playing time. His next chance to perform would be Sunday against Dallas, but Agbaji should not be considered as a fantasy option moving forward.

Pulls down 11 rebounds in win Agbaji pulled down 11 rebounds during Sunday's preseason win over Washington, adding five points (2-8 FG, 1-2 FT) and one steal in 17 minutes off the bench.

Impact With Scottie Barnes back in action Sunday, Agbaji returned to the second unit. Agbaji has proven he can provide impactful stats when given spot-starts, but it'll be tough for him to make an impact in standard leagues when he's working with the second unit.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Wednesday Agbaji is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against the Kings, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

Impact Agbaji will be replacing Scottie Barnes in the first unit for Wednesday's exhibition, and he'll be joined by Immanuel Quickley, Brandon Ingram, RJ Barrett and Jonathan Mogbo.

Full stat line in season finale Agbaji closed Sunday's 125-118 loss to San Antonio with 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals in 38 minutes.

Impact The 2022 first-rounder was a stable member of the Toronto rotation all throughout 2024-25, starting 45 games this season.
