Player News
Immanuel Quickley (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks.Quickley is a late addition to Tuesday's injury report, but he played through the illness on Sunday and logged 30 minutes. With Jamal Shead (quad) also questionable, more minutes could be available for Ja'Kobe Walter and Gradey Dick if Quickley is forced to sit out Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup.
Gradey Dick (head) is not on the injury report against the Hornets on Saturday.Dick exited early on Wednesday, but that won't keep him sidelined against Charlotte. With RJ Barrett still sidelined, Dick should see a bump in minutes, and Ja'Kobe Walter, who played 32 minutes after Dick's early exit, will likely see his minutes decrease from that game, but he'll still play more than he typically does. However, neither will be reliable streaming options in standard leagues.
Ja'Kobe Walter recorded 13 points (5-of-10 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, two steals and three three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Pacers.Walter was replaced in the starting lineup by Collin Murray-Boyles (zero points and one rebound in eight minutes), but the change did not have a negative impact on his playing time. Walter, who replaced CMB in the lineup to begin the third quarter, played a season-high 32 minutes. While he isn't a must-roster player, injuries to RJ Barrett and Gradey Dick add some appeal to Walter in deep leagues, especially with one of Toronto's final two games of Week 6 being against the struggling Hornets.
Gradey Dick (head) will not return to Wednesday's game against the Pacers.Gradey fell hard on his back late in the first quarter, forcing his head to snap back and hit the court. After some time in the bench area just before the start of the second, he went back to the locker room to be evaluated, and the Raptors have ruled Gradey out for the rest of the night. His absence likely means more minutes for Ja'Kobe Walter, especially with RJ Barrett (knee) out for at least one week.
The Athletic's Esfandiar Baraheni reports that RJ Barrett (knee) will be re-evaluated in a week.Barrett sustained a right knee sprain in Sunday's win over Brooklyn before sitting out Monday's win over Cleveland. His timeline means Barrett will miss at least four games, though he could be forced to sit out additional games beyond that, depending on his recovery. Ja'Kobe Walter started on Monday, though he did little with his 24 minutes. Jamal Shead logged 24 minutes off the bench, and he should see an uptick in playing time for as long as Barrett is out. Gradey Dick may be more involved, too, so fantasy managers don't have a clear pickup here.
