"CMB was enjoying a heck of a game with 11 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, plus three blocks in 24 minutes of action before heading to the locker room during the third quarter of the contest in LA. Tornto were without Jakob Poeltl, who CMB has done a great job of replacing in the starting five, RJ Barrett and Ja'Kobe Walter."
"The injury comes at the start of a five-game homestand for the Raptors as they'll play game two tomorrow against the Golden State Warriors. If Toronto are without CMB and Jakob Poeltl, somebody's gonna need to step up and play the centre position for Toronto that has limited options ranging from Scottie Barnes, Sandro Mamukelashvili or Jonathan Mogbo. Scottie Barnes actually started at centre the last time these two teams met, as he recorded a triple-double and helped Toronto make a huge comeback."
Collin Murray-Boyles suffered a thumb contusion after exiting the Raptors' loss to the Lakers, and X-rays returned negative. He had 11 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and three blocks in 24 minutes before leaving in the third quarter. Toronto was already without Jakob Poeltl, RJ Barrett and Ja'Kobe Walter for that game. CMB had been replacing Poeltl in the starting five. The injury arrives at the start of a five-game homestand, with the next game against the Golden State Warriors. Potential centre options include Scottie Barnes, Sandro Mamukelashvili or Jonathan Mogbo, with Barnes having started at centre in the prior meeting.
