"Ochai Agbaji has been ruled out for the Raptors' game against the Brooklyn Nets with lower back spasms, Raptors PR announced. After receiving a spot start in Jakob Poeltl's absence in a loss against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday - he scored zero points and grabbed two boards in 15 minutes - Agbaji will now miss his first game of the season due to injury. The fourth-year wing was a DNPCD against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday."
"Agbaji's minutes, role and production have decreased this season as he battles with Gradey Dick, Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamison Battle for minutes. The 25-year-old is averaging only 2.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists compared to his statline of 10.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists last season, all of which were career highs. His 3-point shooting has also taken a major dip, albeit through a tiny sample."

Gradey Dick leads the bench wings in minutes and scoring, Walter has struggled from the floor, and Battle has shot extremely well from three. Sandro Mamukelashvili is questionable with a neck contusion, and Jakob Poeltl is set to return after resting and recovering from a back issue.
