"After four games, the Toronto Raptors will have their starting center back. After leaving a game early with a back injury, Jakob Poeltl has been ruled active tonight and he will suit up for Toronto in their matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Poeltl's size returning to the lineup will hopefully mend some of the issues that Toronto has been facing on the glass and in the paint as well."
"Through 92 minutes with Poeltl on the court this season, Toronto has a net rating of -16.40 and a defensive rating of 110.81. Hopefully Poeltl has had enough time for his back to heal up somewhat and for his movement and rim protection to return to a similar form of what it was last season. Returning against Giannis Antetokounmpo of all players isn't ideal, but what better physical test is there than playing against such a physical player."
Jakob Poeltl has been ruled active and will return to the Toronto Raptors' starting lineup tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks after leaving a game early with a back injury. His size aims to address Toronto's struggles on the glass and in the paint, as his movement had been hindered and he provided limited value. Through 92 minutes with Poeltl on the court this season, Toronto has a net rating of -16.40 and a defensive rating of 110.81. The matchup against Giannis Antetokounmpo will be a stiff physical test. Toronto stands at 3-4. TABLE Fare + Social is a food hall near the arena open weekdays with a private terrace, programming, and events; follow @Tablefoodhall or tablefoodhall.com.
