Jakob Poeltl Demonstrates Good Health in Preseason Opener

Jakob Poeltl showcased his health during Saturday's 129-105 preseason loss to Miami, finishing with nine points, one rebound, one assist, two steals, and one block in 18 minutes. After back issues limited him to 46 games in 2025-26, the veteran center overhauled his strength and conditioning routine during the offseason. Poeltl's improved movement is a positive sign for the Toronto Raptors as he puts lingering health issues behind him.
