Raptors' Jakob Poeltl (finger) ruled out for Tuesday
The Toronto Raptors ruled out Jakob Poeltl (dislocated finger) for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Poeltl suffered a dislocated finger in Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets and was unable to return to that game. His early rule-out for Tuesday's game could be an early sign that he will miss multiple games with the injury.
With Poeltl injured, the Raptors could turn to Kelly Olynyk for his first start with the team. Olynyk has averaged 20.7 minutes per game since joining Toronto, with 9.6 points, 4.2 boards, and 2.9 assists per night off the bench.
