Raptors List Jakob Poeltl As Questionable Against Celtics

The Toronto Raptors will be without starting center Jakob Poeltl for their game against the Boston Celtics, marking the seventh consecutive game he has missed due to a right hip injury. Although Raptors coach Darko Rajaković stated that Poeltl is 'close' to returning, his availability for the upcoming game against the Indiana Pacers remains uncertain. The team will again rely on Orlando Robinson and Jonathan Mogbo in his absence, while Gradey Dick is expected to play despite a right thigh contusion. The Celtics will also be missing key players, including Jrue Holiday and Luke Kornet, with Al Horford listed as questionable. Toronto has struggled without Poeltl, holding a record of 2-10 when he is unavailable this season.
