Jakob Poeltl Ruled Out for Saturday's Game with Back Injury, Day-to-Day
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Celtics due to a back injury. Head coach Darko Rajakovic stated the injury is not serious, and Poeltl is considered day-to-day. He previously missed Thursday's game and was initially questionable for Saturday. Poeltl is expected to miss the front end of the Raptors' back-to-back set, with his next chance to play coming Sunday at Brooklyn. Sandro Mamukelashvili is likely to start at center, with Collin Murray-Boyles also seeing minutes.
