"Battle, 24, is averaging only 7.3 minutes and 4.1 points per game, but has shot 11-of-15 from 3 (73%) including a spectacular 6-of-6 performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers that secured the Raptors their first NBA Cup win. His exceptional shooting paired with strong length and movement on defence have made a strong case for Battle to steal minutes from the Raptors' other bench wing candidates."
"Alternatively, Agbaji has struggled from beyond the arc, shooting only 8.3% after posting a career-high 39.9% distance shooting season in 2024-25. The fourth-year wing will miss his third consecutive game and is averaging 2.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 13.9 minutes in nine games played. Last season Agbaji averaged 10.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists, all of which were career highs."
"Murray-Boyles is in vs. Pacers. Agbaji (back) and Battle (minor knee issue flare up in AM) are out.- Michael Grange (@michaelgrange) November 15, 2025 Battle was announced as questionable earlier in the day by the Raptors and is sitting with a minor knee issue that flared up in the morning, according to Grange. Meanwhile Collin Murray-Boyles will be available to play after also being listed as questionable and missing the previous game with an illness."
Jamison Battle and Ochai Agbaji are ruled out against the Indiana Pacers with a minor knee flare-up and a back injury. Collin Murray-Boyles is available after missing the previous game with an illness. Battle is averaging 7.3 minutes and 4.1 points while shooting 11-of-15 from three, including a 6-of-6 game that helped secure the Raptors their first NBA Cup win. Agbaji is shooting 8.3% from three this season after a 39.9% season in 2024-25 and is averaging 2.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 13.9 minutes. Murray-Boyles, a 20-year-old rookie, averages 8.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 combined steals/blocks through nine games. Gradey Dick and Ja'Kobe Walter are expected to receive increased minutes.
