Jakob Poeltl

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.

Jakob Poeltl (back) continues to be without a timetable to return from his nagging back injury, per a statement from the Raptors.

Fantasy Impact

Poeltl has not played since December 21, when he briefly came in to a game before his back gave out on him. It’s not a great sign that he is still no closer to returning after a month. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his status as updates trickle in.

Jakob Poeltl (back) will remain out for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Fantasy Impact

The big man will miss yet another game on Friday, which should come as no surprise to fantasy managers, as this back injury has been bothering him for a while. Sandro Mamukelashvili will continue to benefit from his absence for the foreseeable future.

Jakob Poeltl has returned to Toronto to meet with a specialist.

Fantasy Impact

Poeltl has been limited to 21 games so far this season with the injury. Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jonathan Mogbo should remain in bigger roles down low for Toronto.
