Toronto Raptors News and Rumors - NBA

Jamison Battle - Iffy for Sunday Battle (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Battle is still dealing with a left ankle sprain and could miss his second straight outing. If the 24-year-old forward joins RJ Barrett (ankle), Jakob Poeltl (back) and Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) on the sidelines, Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji and Collin Murray-Boyles would be candidates for increased playing time, while Alijah Martin could remain in the Toronto rotation.

Jakob Poeltl - Out again Sunday Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Poeltl continues to miss time due to a back strain. His next chance at a return will arrive Tuesday at Golden State. Collin Murray-Boyles should draw another start at center Sunday as a result.

Ja'Kobe Walter - Won't play Sunday Walter (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Sunday will mark the fourth consecutive game on the inactive list for Walter. His next chance to play will come Tuesday versus the Warriors, but with that game being the first of a back-to-back set, he should be considered doubtful.

RJ Barrett - Ruled out for Sunday Barrett (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Barrett will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to a sprained left ankle, and his next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against Golden State. With Barrett being joined by Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) on the sidelines, Gradey Dick and Alijah Martin are candidates for increased playing time.

Immanuel Quickley - Questionable for Sunday Quickley (back) is questionable to play Sunday versus the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact It looks like Quickley has a chance of returning from a two-game absence Sunday, but we'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround. If Quickley is able to get back out there, Jamal Shead would likely return to the second unit.

Jamal Shead - Double-double in overtime loss Shead ended with 15 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, 13 assists and one steal across 39 minutes in Friday's 121-117 overtime loss to the Clippers.

Impact Shead made his fourth straight start and delivered the most eye-catching line to date, logging his first double-double of the season. While the 23-year-old's scoring efficiency can fluctuate, his passing has stood out, as the guard is averaging 7.8 assists during this four-game starting run and 6.8 across eight January appearances. His playing time figures to scale back once Immanuel Quickley (back) returns, but Shead has shown he can effectively run the offense and facilitate when given the opportunity.

Scottie Barnes - Paces Toronto in overtime loss Barnes closed with 24 points (9-21 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes in Friday's 121-117 overtime loss to the Clippers.

Impact Barnes led the Raptors in scoring but ultimately came up short in an overtime loss. Perimeter shooting remains a secondary part of his game at just 3.3 three-point attempts per contest this season, yet going without a make from deep in five of the past seven games underscores how even modest improvement -- 32.6 percent on the year -- could raise his overall impact.

Sandro Mamukelashvili - Available Friday Mamukelashvili (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Mamukelashvili sat out Wednesday versus the Pacers due to an illness but is cleared to return Friday against the Clippers. Since the start of December, he's appeared in 20 games (seven starts), averaging 10.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 23.8 minutes per contest. With Jakob Poeltl (back) still sidelined, Mamukelashvili should see a healthy workload whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Immanuel Quickley - Won't play Friday Quickley (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Clippers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact This will be the second straight game on the inactive list for Quickley, which should lead to another start for Jamal Shead and maybe Garrett Temple will be able to crack the rotation. Quickley's next chance to play will come Sunday against the Lakers.

Garrett Temple - Upgraded to available Temple (back) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers, per Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca.

Impact Temple is available off the bench after missing Wednesday's win in Indiana due to a back issue. The veteran guard hasn't seen more than seven minutes in any of his 10 outings on the campaign, so Temple is unlikely to factor into the rotation in a meaningful way.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Garrett Temple - Upgraded to probable Temple (back) is probable for Friday's game against the Clippers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Temple is likely to be available with a back injury. The veteran guard hasn't seen double-digit minutes in any of his 10 appearances this season, so Temple's presence likely won't have a major impact on the Toronto rotation.

Immanuel Quickley - Downgraded to doubtful Quickley (back) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Clippers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact After originally being deemed questionable, Quickley is now expected to miss two straight contests due to back spasms. With the guard likely to be out Friday, Jamal Shead is primed to see a big rise in playmaking duties as Toronto's top point guard.

Sandro Mamukelashvili - Likely to play Friday Mamukelashvili (illness) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Clippers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Mamukelashvili sat out Wednesday's win over the Pacers due to the ailment but appears to be feeling better and is on pace to suit up Friday. With Jakob Poeltl (back) sidelined, Mamukelashvili has been a steady producer over the past 15 games, averaging 11.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.6 stocks in 24.4 minutes per game.
