Raptors Digest

The Toronto Raptors host Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics without Kawhi Leonard and Scottie Barnes, after going 0-4 against Boston last season. We break down the Raptors injury report (Barnes out with a left groin strain, Kawhi's 9th straight game missed, Immanuel Quickley questionable with his hamstring), how a healthy Tatum and Paul George have Boston rolling after the Jaylen Brown trade, and how Detroit and Houston beat the Celtics by attacking the rim and taking away the three. Plus the Raptors' one win over Boston in their last 16, what Jakob Poeltl, Jamal Shead, Alijah Martin and RJ Barrett have to give, why threes and free throws cost Toronto against Memphis, and who guards Tatum with no Barnes. Ben Rogers breaks it all down.

Who scores the most for the Raptors tonight? Type R for RJ Barrett, S for Jamal Shead, or tell me who else in the comments.

The Toronto Raptors nearly traded for Domantas Sabonis and Anthony Davis last season, and now both reportedly want out of Sacramento and Washington. ESPN's Tim MacMahon says Sabonis wants out of a 1 and 9 Kings team, and Sean Deveney reports there are indications Davis still wants out of Washington. We break down the Raptors Sabonis trade that died in February, what a Barrett and Poeltl deal looks like under the hard cap, the Wizards' 20 to 30 game clock on Davis, why RJ Barrett is the price in both, and the Nikola Jokic rumours out of Denver.

If both were available tomorrow, who are you taking: Domantas Sabonis or Anthony Davis? Let me know in the comments.

The Toronto Raptors gave a third straight Tuesday update on Kawhi Leonard's left knee: still reconditioning, still no timeline, another update in a week. We break down what "reconditioning" really means, why Kawhi still hasn't practiced, the pattern of vague knee updates from his 7 seasons with the Clippers, and the brutal stretch ahead against Boston, Philadelphia and the Knicks twice, with Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and Collin Murray-Boyles also banged up. Plus why the hard cap means no help is coming and what the defence has to fix without Kawhi. Ben rogers breaks it all down.

How many of the next 4 games do you think the Raptors win: Boston, Philly and the Knicks twice? Let me know in the comments.

The Sacramento Kings traded Nique Clifford to the Thunder, and it changes the math on a Toronto Raptors trade for Domantas Sabonis. Sacramento now has 2 open roster spots and is $6.4 million under the luxury tax, which means an RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl package for Sabonis no longer pushes the Kings into the tax. But it doesn't fix everything: the Kings still don't want Poeltl's extension, and the Nets have been linked to Sabonis too. Then Alijah Martin's career night in Milwaukee, 27 points and 6 of 7 from 3, raises the real question: who plays the wing minutes if RJ goes?

Would you trade RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl for Domantas Sabonis right now? Do it or wait? Let me know in the comments.

Jakob Poeltl answered the trade talk with 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Jamal Shead set a career high with 16 assists, tying Fred VanVleet's franchise record with 10 in the first half.

The Toronto Raptors are signing Kevin McCullar Jr. to a two-way contract, 2 weeks after the New York Knicks gave him a championship ring and then waived him 3 days later. Ben Rogers breaks it all down.

Who is Kevin McCullar Jr., why did the champion Knicks cut him to make room for Dalton Knecht, and can a 6-6 defensive wing help a Raptors team that is 2-4 since a 2-0 start, with Kawhi Leonard out with left knee swelling?

Jamison Battle is winning the Toronto Raptors' rotation spot over rookie Allen Graves while Kawhi Leonard is out with a swollen left knee.

With Kawhi out, Darko Rajakovic keeps handing the wing minutes to Battle, who went undrafted in 2024. He scored 20 points in 17 minutes at the Lakers, then hit 4 of 6 threes in the comeback win over the Clippers. In the five games without Kawhi, Battle has played 90 minutes to Graves's 64. Ben Rogers breaks it all down.

Graves, the 19th pick in the 2026 NBA draft, still has the better defensive numbers, the rebounds and the blocks. So why is the rookie losing minutes? We break down Graves's defence, Battle's shooting, Kyle Anderson's place in the debate, and what changes when Kawhi comes back.

The Toronto Raptors gave an update on Kawhi Leonard's left knee, and a Kris Dunn trade rumour now has Toronto's name on it. Kawhi is out again Wednesday in Denver, and the Raptors are 2-0 with him and 2-3 without him, allowing 20 more points a game. At the same time, a post citing ESPN's Bobby Marks predicts the Clippers trade Kris Dunn for a first round pick, and a follow up list puts the Raptors as a potential suitor. We break down Kawhi's knee timeline, why Dunn's 131 steals fit what Toronto is missing, and why the hard cap math ($963,598 of room under the apron against Dunn's $5,684,800 salary) makes this trade so hard. Ben Rogers breaks down the story.

Would you make the Kris Dunn trade, or ride it out until Kawhi is back? Comment D for Dunn or K for Kawhi.

The Toronto Raptors came back from 12 down with 6:30 left to beat the LA Clippers 125-118, with Scottie Barnes scoring 15 in the 4th on a sore hip and RJ Barrett putting up 26. Toronto never led until Barnes hit a turnaround with 2:08 left, one night after a 6 point loss to Luka Doncic and the Lakers. Collin Murray-Boyles got the first start of his career at center and scored 18, the Raptors cut their three point attempts from 54 to 29 and took 48 free throws, and Barrett kept making the case that he is not a player you trade. We break down the last 6 minutes, Barnes through the hip, the new starting five and what it means with Kawhi Leonard still out and Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets next. Ben Rogers breaks it all down.

RJ Barrett at the deadline: keep him or trade him? Tell me in the comments.
