Ochai Agbaji News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Will start sans Barnes Agbaji will start Sunday's game against the Hornets, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Agbaji will replace Scottie Barnes (hand) in the starting lineup. Barnes is expected to miss multiple weeks, so Agbaji could be a regular starter moving forward if he impresses against Charlotte. Agbaji hasn't made any starts for the Raptors, but he drew 10 starts with Utah earlier in the season, posting 7.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 27.2 minutes during those contests.

Gets buckets Monday Agbaji provided 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Monday's 130-122 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Agbaji looked remarkably in-sync in Toronto's offense despite Monday representing just his sixth game with his new team. The second-year guard was an active cutter and flowed with the offense for open looks. Notably, he logged more playing time than Bruce Brown on Monday, while co-existing with a strong performance from rookie Gradey Dick (18 points).

Best showing for new team Agbaji totaled 14 points (5-6 FG, 4-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal across 17 minutes off the bench during Friday's 123-121 victory over the Hawks.

Impact After managing only 15 points across his first four games as a Raptor, Agbaji nearly matched that total in one night Friday. RJ Barrett (knee) being out may have helped Agbaji get into a groove, but when the Toronto roster is fully healthy it's not clear if there will be a significant role for the 14th overall pick in the 2022 Draft.

Impact While Agbaji is technically available for Friday's matchup after being traded from the Jazz to the Raptors on Thursday, coach Darko Rajakovic said during his pregame press conference that Agbaji and Kelly Olynyk (recently traded) are unlikely to get any playing time against Houston. Agbaji will have a chance to acclimate to his new team Friday before likely playing against Cleveland on Saturday.

Impact The Jazz have now traded away their top two small forwards, in Agbaji and Simone Fontecchio, leaving Kevin Knox as the assumed started barring another trade. Agbaji has seen his role slightly decrease this season, averaging 5.4 points and 2.5 rebounds in 19.7 minutes across 51 appearances. In Toronto, the second-year forward will likely compete for bench minutes with Bruce Brown, Gradey Dick and Jordan Nwora.

Good to go against Phoenix Agbaji (illness) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Suns.

Impact Agbaji will return to action Thursday after missing Utah's previous contest with a non-COVID illness. The 23-year-old guard is averaging 2.8 points and 1.9 rebounds in 17.0 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Won't play Tuesday Agbaji (illness) is out for Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City.

Impact Agbaji will miss his first game of the season. He is Utah's only injury absence Tuesday, leaving Kris Dunn, Collin Sexton, Keyonte George, Jordan Clarkson and Simone Fontecchio to anchor the guard and wing rotations.

FEBRUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Added to injury report Agbaji is questionable for Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City due to an illness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Agbaji is averaging 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game across his last four appearances. Simone Fontecchio and Keyonte George would be top candidates to absorb his role if Agbaji cannot suit up Tuesday.

Plays 23 minutes in blowout loss Agbaji recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two rebounds over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 153-124 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Agbaji saw at least 20 minutes of playing time for the first time since the start of the month during Tuesday's blowout loss, but he wasn't able to generate much production. He's been held under 10 points in 14 consecutive appearances and has averaged 2.6 points and 2.3 rebounds in 17.3 minutes per game during that time.

Non-factor in win Agbaji totaled two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in 15 minutes during Monday's 132-116 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Agbaji has failed to exceed five points in each of his past seven games. On Monday, 10 players for Utah logged at least 15 minutes, which is indicative of the team's depth and crunch for minutes at times. The second-year guard flashed continued promise earlier this season, logging 7.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals on 48.3 percent shooting in 27.3 minutes in 10 games as a starter, but he hasn't cracked the starting lineup since Dec. 11 against Oklahoma City.

Struggles against Dallas Agbaji chipped in two points (1-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt) and two rebounds over 19 minutes during Monday's 127-90 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Agbaji has been really quiet in recent games with the Jazz mostly healthy again. He's played 19 or fewer minutes in four straight contests, averaging 3.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists while shooting 33.3 percent from the field.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Top scorer off bench in victory Agbaji recorded 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two steals over 33 minutes during Thursday's 119-111 win over Detroit.

Impact Agbaji led all bench players in Thursday's game in scoring while ending as the lone player on the second unit in double figures and one of six Jazz with a double-digit point total in a winning effort. Agbaji posted his second-highest scoring mark of the year and his third game in double figures over his last five contests.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back with starters Agbaji is starting Monday's game against Oklahoma City.

Impact Agbaji will get another opportunity to start due to the absence of John Collins (illness). Agbaji has previously shown promise while in a starting role, averaging 13.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 30.7 minutes during his last three starts ranging from Nov. 30 to Dec. 6 while Jordan Clarkson missed time with a thigh injury.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench Agbaji will move to the bench for Friday's game against the Clippers, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jordan Clarkson is back in the starting lineup after missing the past three games with a thigh injury. The Jazz are still missing Lauri Markkanen (hamstring), but Simone Fontecchio will remain in the starting lineup instead of Agbaji with the Jazz opting for more floor spacing.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Thursday Agbaji will start Thursday against the Timberwolves, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact Agbaji will enter the starting unit in place of Jordan Clarkson, who's out due to a thigh injury. Agbaji is averaging 5.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game when deployed as a starter.
