It was announced that Jacob Poeltl sprained his ankle today, will be out two weeks, and then they’ll re-evaluate. As a result, the Raptors don’t have a starting centre, and the two guys that can play at centre (Chris Boucher, Jontay Porter) are both under-sized. This is against a Lakers team that gets to the rim a lot thanks to AD most of all and also LeBron. I think the indicator status of today’s game is unfortunately downgraded to an indicator of whether the Raptors are still decent with a significant handicap at centre :/

Yeah… I feel like most of Yak’s best games of the season have been since the Knicks trade too. Heal Quickley, Yak <3!
