Chris Boucher - Used sparingly in win Boucher registered three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound across five minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 win over the Nets.

Impact Boucher barely touched the floor, shifting down in the rotation with the Raptors now presenting a relatively healthy roster. Assuming the team can remain largely injury-free, Boucher will likely struggle to play meaningful minutes on a nightly basis.

Immanuel Quickley - Double-doubles in return Quickley provided 21 points (7-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and 15 assists over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 win over the Nets.

Impact Quickley returned to action Wednesday after missing the previous 22 games due to an elbow injury. He moved straight into the starting lineup and despite an apparent minutes limit, he finished with his first double-double of the season. The Raptors appeared far more cohesive on the offensive end, testament to the impact Quickley had and should continue to have moving forward.

JANUARY 2, 2025 • YOUTUBE

Davion Mitchell - Back to bench against Nets Mitchell is not starting Wednesday's game against the Nets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact After starting Tuesday's loss to Brooklyn, Mitchell will revert to the second unit in the return of sharpshooter Gradey Dick (hamstring) on Wednesday. Mitchell is averaging 7.0 points and 4.2 assists in 20.5 minutes over his past five games.

JANUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gradey Dick - Starting Wednesday in return Dick (hamstring) will start in Wednesday's game against the Nets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Dick will make his 28th start of the season for Toronto after missing Tuesday's loss to Boston with a hamstring injury, suggesting he won't face a noticeable minutes restriction, if any at all. Dick has reached double-digit scoring figures in six of his last seven outings.

JANUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Immanuel Quickley - Starting in return Quickley is part of the Raptors' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Quickley is active for the first time since Nov. 10 and although he'll almost certainly be on a minutes restriction, he's part of the first unit. Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl will fill out the rest of the starting lineup.

JANUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ja'Kobe Walter - Good to go against Brooklyn Walter (finger) is available for Wednesday night's game against the Nets, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Walter popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to a left finger sprain, but the rookie first-rounder will play through the issue Wednesday. Walter has averaged 10.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 23.1 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gradey Dick - Will play against Nets Dick (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact After missing Tuesday's loss to Boston with a hamstring injury, Dick will keep his absence to a one-game minimum and suit up Wednesday. The sharpshooter is coming off a season-low six points in his last appearance during Sunday's loss to the Hawks, so he'll be looking to bounce back against Brooklyn. Dick has reached double scoring figures in six of his last seven outings, and he doesn't figure to face a minutes restriction.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Immanuel Quickley - Returns to Toronto's lineup Quickley is officially off the Raptors' injury report and will play against the Nets on Wednesday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact After missing 22 games for Toronto, Quickley returns to the active lineup Wednesday against Brooklyn, helping provide some backcourt depth for the struggling Raptors. He has played in only three games this season due to a pelvis and an elbow injury. Quickley is expected to face heavy restrictions for at least a few games given his lengthy layoff and surprise return to action.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

RJ Barrett - Won't play Wednesday Barrett (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Barrett will miss both halves of Toronto's back-to-back set due to an illness, but the Raptors will have Immanuel Quickley (elbow) and Gradey Dick (hamstring) available Wednesday after they were sidelined for Tuesday's blowout loss to Boston. Barrett's next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Magic, while Ochai Agbaji should continue to start until Barrett is cleared to play again.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jamison Battle - Three-point threat for Toronto Battle posted nine points (3-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 125-71 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Battle continues to be a consistent threat for the Raptors from beyond the arc. The undrafted rookie forward is shooting an impressive 43.1 percent from deep this season on 3.4 attempts per game, making him a valuable asset off the bench.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ja'Kobe Walter - Dealing with sprained finger Walter is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets with a finger sprain on his left hand, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Walter joins Immanuel Quickley (elbow), Gradey Dick (hamstring) and RJ Barrett (illness) as one of four Raptors listed questionable for the second half of a back-to-back set. The rookie played 22 minutes and finished with three points (1-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block in Tuesday's 125-71 loss to the Celtics, but if Walter is available Wednesday, he could be in line for a reduction in playing time in the event two or three of Quickley, Dick and Barrett also get the green light to play.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jakob Poeltl - Strong showing on glass Poeltl closed Tuesday's 125-71 loss to the Celtics with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes.

Impact While the Raptors' offense collapsed in the rout, Poeltl at least enjoyed some success on the glass and at the defensive end. The veteran center has produced four blocks and four steals in two contests since returning from a four-game absence due to a groin strain, but he's still looking for his first double-double since Dec. 9.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scottie Barnes - Double-double in Tuesday's loss Barnes amassed 16 points (7-19 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 125-71 loss to Boston.

Impact He was the only Raptor to even score in double digits in the rout, with the team shooting just 31.4 percent from the floor. It was Barnes' eighth double-double of the season, and in six games since returning from an ankle sprain he's averaged 17.8 points, 7.2 boards, 5.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.8 threes despite shooting a woeful 16.1 percent (5-for-31) from beyond the arc.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gradey Dick - Iffy for Wednesday Dick (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Dick remains day-to-day after missing Tuesday's game against Boston. In addition to Dick, RJ Barrett (illness) and Immanuel Quickley (illness) are questionable, while Bruce Brown is resting for the second leg of this back-to-back. Once Quickley gets his legs under him, Dick's usage could take a hit.
