Jakob Poeltl Ruled Out for Friday's Game Due to Aggravated Back Injury

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards due to a back injury. He appeared to aggravate the issue during Sunday's loss to the Nets, marking his second consecutive missed game. With Poeltl sidelined, Sandro Mamukelashvili is expected to remain in the Raptors' starting lineup. Poeltl's next opportunity to play will be Sunday against the Warriors.
