Ochai Agbaji News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Solid production versus Minnesota Agbaji had 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 112-101 loss to Minnesota.

Impact With RJ Barrett (shoulder) sidelined, Agbaji has started three straight games at small forward, and his offensive productivity has increased in each of those games. Over his last two appearances, Agbaji has totaled 31 points, 10 boards, three assists and four steals. As long as Barrett remains out, Agbaji should draw some deep-league streaming interest.

Drops 16 points in victory Ogbaji compiled 16 points (6-11 FG, 1-6 3PT, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Friday's preseason win over the Nets.

Impact Agbaji had his most complete performance of the preseason, continuing to play an increased role as a result of injuries to both RJ Barrett (shoulder ) and Bruce Brown (knee). Despite an encouraging effort, Agbaji is unlikely to crack the standard league discussion this season. Given what we have seen thus far in his career, he would need upwards of 30 minutes per night to sniff sustainable value.

Starting Friday Agbaji will join the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game versus the Wizards, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Agbaji will enter the starting five with RJ Barrett (shoulder) and Bruce Brown (knee) out. Agbaji made 27 regular-season appearances (18 starts) for the Raptors last season after being traded from Utah, during which he averaged 6.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 23.7 minutes per game.

Working on jumper Agbaji (lower leg) was seen with coach Darko Rajakovic working on his hand placement for his jump shot, Esfandiar Baraheni of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Abaji struggled mightily with his outside shot in 2023-24, converting just 29.4 percent of his 2.7 three-point attempts per contest. If the 24-year-old forward can become a more reliable shooter, he should receive increased playing time in Toronto's forward rotation.

Won't play Sunday Agbaji has been ruled out for Sunday's Summer League finale against the Spurs due to a right shin contusion, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Agbaji appeared in Toronto's first four games during the Las Vegas Summer League but will sit out the finale. He averaged 6.0 points and 4.8 assists in 23.2 minutes per game over his four appearances.

JULY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in regular-season finale Agbaji is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Miami, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Agbaji gets the nod with the first unit while RJ Barrett (knee) is sidelined. Agbaji has boom appeal as a volume shooter, giving him streaming credibility in Toronto's 82nd game.

APRIL 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench Agbaji isn't starting Friday's game against the Heat.

Impact The Raptors have elected to shake up the starting five, rolling with Gary Trent at shooting guard and Gradey Dick at small forward. Agbaji will come off the bench as a result but should still play a big role in the rotation.

APRIL 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs eight boards in return Agbaji (hip) tallied three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes Friday in the Raptors' 117-111 win over the Bucks.

Impact In his return from a three-game absence due to a right hip contusion, Agbaji took back a spot in the starting five from Gradey Dick and didn't face any restrictions with his playing time. However, with Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett both recently returning from multi-game absences due to personal matters, there were few touches to go around for Agbaji, who finished with a team-low 8.4 percent usage rate on the night. Agbaji will likely have a tough time turning in fantasy friendly lines while the Raptors have at least a couple of their regular starters available.

Starting Friday Agbaji (hip) will start at shooting guard in Friday's game against the Bucks

Impact Agbaji was originally questionable with a hip injury, but he will play through it. He has averaged 7.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 26.8 minutes in 23 starts this season.

APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Friday's game Agbaji (hip) is available for Friday's game against Milwaukee, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Agbaji missed the last three games, but he was questionable ahead of Friday's matchup and will be able to return to action against the Bucks. Over his last five full appearances, he's averaged 11.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 31.2 minutes per game.

APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Agbaji (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Agbaji has missed the past three games for Toronto, but this is the first time he's received the "questionable" tag since going down, which indicates progress. We'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at Friday's shootaround, but if he is able to get back to the floor, there will be fewer minutes available for Gradey Dick and Jordan Nwora.

APRIL 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Wednesday Agbaji (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Agbaji will miss a third straight game due to a right hip contusion. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in Milwaukee.

APRIL 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Tuesday Agbaji (hip) will not play Tuesday against the Lakers, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Agbaji will miss his second straight game Tuesday, and it's not a good sign that he's getting ruled out a day in advance. Fortunately for Toronto, they are expected to have Immanuel Quickley (personal) and RJ Barrett (conditioning) back in the mix Tuesday.

APRIL 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Agbaji (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Agbaji suffered a right hip contusion Wednesday against the Knicks and underwent medical testing that came back clean. However, he's still sore and will be forced to miss at least one game. It's not yet clear whether he'll be unavailable for additional games, but his next chance to return will be Tuesday against the Lakers.

MARCH 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will not return Agbaji will not return to Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to a right hip contusion, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Agbaji played just five minutes before exiting the game. He left after accumulating just one rebound and assist each. In his absence, Gradey Dick and Bruce Brown could see some extra run on the wing.

MARCH 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Registers three steals vs. Thunder Agbaji closed Friday's 123-103 loss to the Thunder with 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and three steals over 32 minutes.

Impact Agbaji recorded three steals and scored in double-digits for the second straight time during Friday's contest. He's started in each of his last 10 games with All-Star forward Scottie Barnes (hand) sidelined. Agbaji has provided steady output as of late, and he has averaged 10.5 points on 43.6 percent shooting, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals over 31.7 minutes per game over his last four starts.

MARCH 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in double digits in loss Agbaji closed Wednesday's 123-89 loss to Sacramento with 13 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals across 30 minutes.

Impact The Raptors looked completely overmatched against a playoff-bound team like the Kings, but Agbaji at least posted a decent stat line, and he scored in double digits for the first time since March 3, when he also recorded 13 points in a win over the Hornets. Agbaji has been starting regularly in recent weeks, but he hasn't done much to become a reliable fantasy asset. He's averaging 6.6 points and 3.5 rebounds while logging 25.5 minutes per game since the beginning of March.

Notches nine points Agbaji ended with nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Sunday's 111-96 loss to the Magic.

Impact Agbaji continues to log heavy minutes for the Raptors, but his production from a fantasy perspective has left a lot to be desired. In nine March appearances, Agbaji has averaged 5.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.4 three-pointers while shooting 33.3 percent from the field. Sunday's performance was a step in the right direction, but his fantasy ceiling remains limited even with Toronto shorthanded.

MARCH 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Agbaji (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Suns, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Agbaji was previously upgraded to probable, so this was an expected update. Agbaji has struggled since joining the Raptors, hitting 37.7 percent from the field and 26.7 percent from beyond the arc.

MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Thursday Agbaji (knee) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Thursday's game against the Suns.

Impact Agbaji is on track to play through the knee issue, and if all goes well, he should get all the run he can handle on this banged-up Raptors team. His shooting percentages probably won't be great, but he's capable of racking up the counting stats when given the opportunity, putting him on the radar as a streaming option.

MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy against Phoenix Agbaji (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Suns, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Agbaji is in danger of missing Thursday's contest due to a left knee injury he suffered against New Orleans. If Agbaji is ruled out, Jordan Nwora and Gradey Dick are candidates to receive increased playing time.

MARCH 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Tuesday Agbaji will not return to Tuesday's game against the Pelicans due to left knee soreness, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. He finished with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and three...

Impact The Raptors are already pretty thin due to several key injuries, so they will be hoping this is a day-to-day issue. If Agbaji is forced to miss additional time, Jordan Nwora and Gradey Dick could see more opportunities on the wings.

MARCH 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

New career high in boards Agbaji had 13 points (6-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 33 minutes during Sunday's 111-106 win over Charlotte.

Impact Getting the start in place of Scottie Barnes (hand), Agbaji had the best performance of his career on the glass while scoring in double digits for the third time in the last five games. The second-year wing figures to have a much bigger role over the coming weeks while Barnes is sidelined, but he'll need to improve his efficiency if he's going to provide consistent fantasy value.
