Jakob Poeltl

Jakob Poeltl (back) will return to the Raptors on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Poeltl's back issues have kept him out since late December, but the Austrian big man is finally ready to return, albeit on a minutes restriction. Sandro Mamukelashvili and Trayce Jackson-Davis could see fewer minutes with Poeltl back in the mix.

Jakob Poeltl (back) is questionable for the Raptors on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Poeltl had been slowly improving his status and now could make his return after well over a month on the shelf for the Raptors game against the Pistons before All-Star break. The team could decide to give him more rest, however, so fantasy managers will need to monitor the situation as more details emerge.

Jakob Poeltl has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Fantasy Impact

Poeltl appears to be nearing his return, but it won't happen on Sunday. He has been sidelined since December.

Jakob Poeltl (conditioning) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Fantasy Impact

Poeltl has been sidelined since before Christmas due to a back injury, but he appears to be pretty well over it at this point and is now just looking to get his conditioning up to par for a return prior to the All-Star Break. That could come as soon as Sunday, as he is officially questionable for that game. Sandro Mamukelashvili will see less work whenever he's back in the lineup.

The Raptors are hopeful Jakob Poeltl can return before the All-Star break.

Fantasy Impact

Poeltl has not appeared in a game since December 21. Toronto has three games left before the All-Star break.
