Golden State is looking to extend its four-game win streak with a victory against Toronto

Collin Murray-Boyles - Downgraded to out Murray-Boyles (thumb) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Golden State.

Impact Murray-Boyles was added to the team's injury report as questionable, but he was quickly downgraded to out with more than 24 hours before tipoff. Jakob Poeltl is also out with a back injury, which opens up opportunities for Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jonathan Mogbo at center.

Ja'Kobe Walter - Won't play Tuesday Walter (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Walter will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to a right hip injury, and his next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against the Kings. With the second-year guard unavailable, more minutes will be available for the likes of Ochai Agbaji, Gradey Dick and A.J. Lawson.

Jakob Poeltl - Won't go vs. Warriors Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Golden State.

Impact Poeltl hasn't seen the floor since Dec. 21 after suffering a back injury. He was cleared to participate in contact drills Jan. 5, but the team has failed to provide an update since then.

7 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

RJ Barrett - Won't play Tuesday Barrett (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Barrett will miss a sixth consecutive game while recovering from a left ankle sprain. His next chance to take the court will arrive Wednesday in Sacramento, though he doesn't appear to be close to a return at this point.

Collin Murray-Boyles - Questionable to play Tuesday Murray-Boyles (thumb) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Murray-Boyles injured his left thumb during the Raptors' loss to the Lakers on Sunday, and the injury was diagnosed as a contusion after X-rays came back negative. Jakob Poeltl continues to be sidelined by a back injury, so Sandro Mamukelashvili would likely enter the Raptors' starting lineup Tuesday if Murray-Boyles is not cleared to play.

Collin Murray-Boyles - X-rays negative on thumb Murray-Boyles was diagnosed Monday with a thumb contusion after X-rays on his left hand returned negative, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Murray-Boyles was forced out of Sunday's 110-93 loss to the Lakers with what the Raptors had classified as a left thumb sprain, but after further review, the rookie appears to be dealing with a less significant injury. Even so, Murray-Boyles could still be at risk of missing Tuesday's game at Golden State, so his status will warrant close tracking leading up to that contest. With Jakob Poeltl (back) having missed each of the Raptors' 14 games, Murray-Boyles has moved into an elevated role in the Toronto frontcourt. While starting each of the last nine games, Murray-Boyles has averaged 10.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 30.8 minutes while shooting 56.9 percent from the field and 81.3 percent from the charity stripe.

Scottie Barnes - Finishes with 22 points in loss Barnes supplied 22 points (10-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Barnes was one rebound shy of a double-double in the loss, and he played reasonably well while battling with LeBron James for most of the game. He faded a bit down the stretch after a red-hot start during a 12-2 Toronto run in the first quarter, but he finished as the team's high scorer regardless. His scoring total marked his third consecutive game with 20-plus points, and his fourth in five games.

18 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Brandon Ingram - Logs 19 points against former team Ingram contributed 19 points (7-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Although it has been several years since Ingram wore a Laker uniform, he usually posts a good number against his former team. He finished slightly below his seasonal scoring average in the loss, converting only 36.8 percent of his 19 shot attempts. High shot volume is key to Ingram's success, and his 2025-26 average of 17.2 attempts per game is right in line with his other successful campaigns as a pro.

18 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Sandro Mamukelashvili - Steps in with 20-point effort Mamukelashvili finished with 20 points (8-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Mamukelashvili took over for Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) after he injured his thumb in the third quarter. Mamukelashvili actually produced most of his total in the first quarter, as the Raptors employed a unique setup with both big men on the floor at the same time. They maintained a lead for the entire first quarter with this scheme. Eventually, Mamukelahvili and Murray-Boyles will give way to Jakob Poeltl (back) when he returns, but the fifth-year pro may see a start in his near future if Murray-Boyles' injury requires an absence.

Collin Murray-Boyles - Quickly ruled out Sunday Murray-Boyles (thumb) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Lakers, Kayla Grey of TSN reports.

Impact Murray-Boyles aggravated his left thumb injury during the third quarter of Sunday's game, and his night will end with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 25 minutes. It's a sizable blow to the Raptors' frontcourt that is already without Jakob Poeltl (back), and Murray-Boyles will continue to get tests to determine the severity of his injury. Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jonathan Mogbo should see more minutes off the bench for the rest of Sunday's game in Murray-Boyles' absence.

Collin Murray-Boyles - Goes to locker room Murray-Boyles went to the locker room during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Lakers due to a left thumb sprain and is questionable to return, Kayla Grey of TSN repor...

Impact Murray-Boyles has been dealing with a lingering left thumb issue, and the injury appeared to be aggravated when Luka Doncic attempted to strip the ball out of the former's hands, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca. Sunday was Murray-Boyles' ninth consecutive start, and with Jakob Poeltl (back) sidelined, Sandro Mamukelashvili should see a sizeable uptick in minutes off the bench for as long Murray-Boyles is out of the game.

Jamal Shead - Coming off bench Sunday Shead is not in the Raptors' starting lineup against the Lakers on Sunday, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Shead will retreat to the bench Sunday due to Immanuel Quickley (back) being cleared to return from a two-game absence. Shead has started in each of the Raptors' last four games, and over that span he averaged 11.8 points, 7.8 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 threes and 1.0 steals over 35.0 minutes per game, though he connected on just 35.0 percent of his field-goal attempts.

Immanuel Quickley - Available Sunday Quickley (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Quickley will shed his questionable tag and return from a two-game absence due to back spasms. With the 26-year-old point guard back in the lineup, fewer minutes will be available for A.J. Lawson and Alijah Martin. Quickley has averaged 17.8 points, 5.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 34.0 minutes per game over six appearances in January.
