"Brandon Ingram has looked sharp and confident after missing most of last season, showing no signs of rust. New free-agent addition Sandro Mamukelashvili has impressed as a versatile, floor-stretching big man, particularly in his memorable debut out west in Vancouver. Meanwhile, ninth-overall pick Collin Murray-Boyles has already flashed elite defensive potential, turning heads in the team's win over Sacramento. Unfortunately, the rookie suffered an injury against Boston, but the good news is that his X-rays came back negative."
"Washington, on the other hand, remains a mystery. Having yet to play a preseason game, plenty of questions surround this revamped roster. The projected starting lineup features Bub Carrington, CJ McCollum, Khris Middleton, Bilal Coulibaly, and Alex Sarr. However, both McCollum and Middleton could become trade chips as the season unfolds - the Wizards are clearly in the early stages of another rebuild."
The Toronto Raptors are 2–1 and travel to face the Washington Wizards in a Sunday preseason game after a buzzer-beating win over Boston. Toronto’s preseason play has been encouraging, with Brandon Ingram appearing sharp, Sandro Mamukelashvili providing versatile floor spacing, and rookie Collin Murray-Boyles showing strong defensive potential despite a recent injury with negative X-rays. The Raptors have won two of three games and lost one by four points, benefiting from developing chemistry. Washington has not yet played a preseason game, features a young, revamped roster, and has made draft-related moves including acquiring Will Riley.
