Poeltl (groin) will not play Thursday against the Nets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. After undergoing an MRI, Poeltl has a bilateral groin strain and is considered day-to-day. With Toronto's starting center sidelined for at least one game, Kelly Olynyk will likely step into a large role and will offer plenty of upside for fantasy managers in need of a short-term pickup.

Jakob Poeltl Latest News
Won't play Thursday
Poeltl (groin) will not play Thursday against the Nets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. After undergoing an MRI, Poeltl has a bilateral groin strain and is considered day-to-day. With Toronto's starting center sidelined for at least one game, Kelly Olynyk will likely step into a large role and will offer plenty of upside for fantasy managers in need of a short-term pickup.
Gets MRI after early exit
Poeltl was scheduled to undergo an MRI after exiting Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls with a left groin injury in the fourth quarter, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. The Raptors are expected to provide a prognosis for Poeltl once the results of the MRI are available, likely at some point Tuesday. Poeltl recorded six points (3-7 FG), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 22 minutes before checking out of the game with 10:12 remaining in the contest due to the injury. If Poeltl isn't available for Thursday's game against the Nets, the Raptors would likely lean on Kelly Olynyk and Jonathan Mogbo to cover most of the minutes at center, with Chris Boucher presumably getting more playing time at power forward.
Won't come back Monday
Poeltl will not return to Monday's game against the Bulls due to a left groin injury, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. He'll finish the game with six points (3-7 FG), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes. Poeltl slipped and limped back to the locker room with 10:12 remaining in the final quarter of Monday's matchup before being ruled out. Jonathan Mogbo and Kelly Olynyk should see more opportunities if Poeltl is forced to miss additional time. The team announced after the game that the big man is headed for further testing to determine the extent of the injury.
Heads to locker room
Poeltl left Monday's game against the Bulls due to a an apparent lower body injury, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. Poeltl appeared to slip early in the fourth quarter and limped to the locker room shortly after for further evaluation. Kelly Olynyk and Jonathan Mogbo would pick up the slack at center the rest of the way if Poeltl can't return.
Stuffs stat sheet in loss
Poeltl closed with 16 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 27 minutes during Thursday's 114-104 loss to Miami. Poeltl was scratched from the starting lineup due to back spasms only a few minutes before tipoff, but the big man entered the game in the first quarter and didn't look hindered by the injury. Aside from posting a solid stat line, Poeltl also logged 27 minutes compared to Bruno Fernando's two-minute cameo -- and Fernando was the one who replaced him in the starting unit. It seemed like an emergency measure, though, and Poeltl's availability going forward isn't expected to be affected.
Checks in off bench
Poeltl (back) has entered Thursday's game against the Heat, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Poeltl was a late scratch from the starting lineup due to back spasms, but he was able to check in off the bench only a few minutes into the first quarter. The team will likely monitor the big man closely as the game unfolds to determine his workload Thursday evening.
Removed from starting lineup
Poeltl is not starting Thursday against the Heat due to back spasms, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Poeltl apparently felt something during the warmups and has been downgraded to doubtful, so his chances of seeing the court Thursday have reduced significantly. This means Bruno Fernando will start at center, while Chris Boucher could also see a role off the bench. Poeltl isn't likely to step on the hardwood.
Posts another double-double
Poeltl accumulated 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 113-108 loss to New York. Poeltl didn't have his best shooting performance -- according to his recent standards -- but he still provided enough offense to deliver his fourth double-double across his last five appearances. The veteran big man continues to play at a high level on both ends of the court and is averaging 15.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 steals per game over his last 10 appearances.
Posts 20 points in return
Poeltl posted 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 125-118 loss to the Mavericks. An illness prevented Poeltl from playing against the Thunder on Thursday, but the veteran big man was able to return for Saturday's bout. He finished as the Raptors' second-leading scorer behind Gradey Dick (27), and Poeltl's seven assists were a season high. Over his last 10 outings, Poeltl has averaged 18.0 points on 63.8 percent shooting, 11.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 steals over 33.5 minutes per game.
