Poeltl to Miss Thursday's Game Against Lakers for Rest

Jakob Poeltl (rest) will sit out Thursday's game against the Lakers, as reported by Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca. This decision follows Poeltl getting the night off for Sunday's game against the Knicks, which was the second half of Toronto's back-to-back set. Despite being off the injury report for Tuesday's game against Portland, the Raptors' veteran big man will be rested. Poeltl has averaged 10.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 26.5 minutes across 15 games this season.
