Raptors' Jakob Poeltl (ankle) confirmed out Friday
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (ankle) is officially out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
Raptors head coach Darko Rajaković already said Poeltl would likely be ruled out for a ninth straight game, but he made progress this week at practice and is considered day-to-day. Jontay Porter will likely draw another start at center on Friday for the Raptors. Thaddeus Young has also seen more playing time with Poeltl sidelined.
numberFire's models project Porter for 20.0 minutes and 21.9 FanDuel points on Friday. Young is projected for 18.0 minutes and 16.2 FanDuel points.
