After making his long-awaited return, Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett is out on Monday, the second night of a back-to-back against the Orlando Magic, along with centre Jakob Poeltl, per the team.
Newly signed seven-foot centre Mo Bamba is available to make his Raptors debut against the team that drafted him sixth overall in 2018.
Barrett played 24 mins in Sunday's overtime win over the Golden State Warriors, scoring 12 points with seven rebounds and four assists. It was his first game since Nov. 23 due to a knee strain.
In his 18 games this season, the 25-year-old has averaged 18.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists while shooting a career-best 50 per cent from the field.
Meanwhile, Poeltl will miss his fourth straight game with a lingering back injury. The team announced that Poeltl will be out for at least the next week, and that he will be reevaluated after an intensive rehabilitation and strengthening program.
Hampered by his back injury for most of the year, the 30-year-old has struggled this season, averaging only 9.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in 21 games.
Collin Murray-Boyles was announced as available after initially being listed questionable to play due to illness. The rookie had missed Toronto's last two games.
The Raptors look to start a win streak on Monday in the second game of a five-game home stand. Catch the action on Sportsnet ONE and Sportsnet+ at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT.
