"With Toronto being in Boston for their upcoming matchup tomorrow against the Celtics, we got an update on three starting five members from the Raptors. Poeltl (knee) practiced in Boston Thurs, but Ingram (thumb) & Barnes (knee) did not. It was a ight workout so I'm told not to read too much into Barnes not being there. He did finish the game in Charlotte. There was no update on outlook for Ingram, who left in the second quarter.- Michael Grange (@michaelgrange) January 8, 2026"
"Scottie Barnes was another name mentioned in Michael Grange's tweet, as he was also not at practice after missing a big chunk of the fourth quarter against the Hornets due to a knee injury he picked up in the second half. Barnes did, however, check back into the game during crunch time late in the fourth quarter and provided a huge pick for Immanuel Quickley's game-winner at the buzzer, along with 17 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block."
"Jakob Poeltl was spotted at practice and has been ramping up to get back into game shape as his return is just around the corner now after sustaining a back injury against the Brooklyn Nets back on December 21, 2025, when he only registered seven minutes of action with two points and two rebounds. Collin Murray-Boyles recently moved into the starting lineup in his place and has done a good job of filling the vacant spot"
Jakob Poeltl practiced in Boston and is ramping up toward a return after a back injury sustained December 21 against the Brooklyn Nets, when he played seven minutes with two points and two rebounds. Brandon Ingram did not practice after suffering a thumb strain and played only 11 minutes in a 97-96 buzzer-beater win in Charlotte, producing six points, two rebounds and three blocks. Scottie Barnes missed practice after a knee injury but returned late in the Charlotte game and finished with 17 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. Collin Murray-Boyles has started in Poeltl's absence. TABLE Fare + Social is a weekday food hall near the arena offering meals and events for pregame visits.
