As the Toronto Raptors return from a five-game road trip to host the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night, they'll have to navigate some lingering injuries.
Depth wings Jamison Battle and Ochai Agbaji are listed as questionable and doubtful, respectively, per the NBA's injury report, after the pair were sidelined against the Indiana Pacers over the weekend.
Battle is dealing with a right-knee contusion, an injury that flared up on Saturday morning, but was considered "minor," according to Sportsnet's Michael Grange.
Agbaji has been out for three consecutive games before Monday, dealing with a back strain.
Meanwhile, two-way players Alijah Martin and Chucky Hepburn are also out for the game as the pair remain with the Raptors 905, Toronto's G League affiliate.
The Raptors' third two-way player A.J. Lawson, will be available against the Hornets, however, providing some depth on the wing should either Battle and Agbaji not suit up.
The Brampton, Ont., native has led the 905 in scoring through its franchise-best 4-0 start, averaging 25 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.
Toronto looks to extend a three-game win streak and build upon a 7-1 stretch that's brought the squad to 8-5 on the season. Catch the action on Sportsnet ONE or Sportsnet+ at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT.
