Raptors Rule Out Three Starters vs. Grizzlies

The Toronto Raptors will face the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night with several key players sidelined, including RJ Barrett due to concussion protocols, Immanuel Quickley for hip management, and Jakob Poeltl, who is day-to-day with a hip pointer. The Raptors are looking to bounce back after a recent loss to the Knicks but have shown improved performance, winning eight of their last eleven games. Memphis enters the game on a three-game win streak and is second in the Western Conference, relying on strong performances from players like Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ja Morant. The Grizzlies defeated the Raptors in their earlier matchup this season, setting a franchise record with 155 points. Both teams will have to navigate injuries, as Memphis will also be without Desmond Bane and Cam Spencer. With the trade deadline approaching, Raptors players like Chris Boucher may be under scrutiny as potential trade candidates.
