Golden State Warriors bei Toronto Raptors

Butler is still months away from retaking the floor, according to Nick Friedell of The Athletic, so a season debut at some point December might be too optimistic. The star forward remains without a definitive timeline for a return after undergoing ACL surgery in early February, which typically carries at least a nine-month recovery period. Butler makes sense as an injury stash at the end of fantasy drafts, but managers should likely be bracing for him to miss at least the first two months of the regular season.

Moody suffered the injury March 23 and underwent season-ending surgery four days later. The 24-year-old had been targeting September to resume running and on-court work, so his latest progress appears to keep his rehabilitation on track, though he remains without a firm timetable for his return to game action.

Porzingis will miss the start of training camp due to the unknown issue, and his status for the beginning of the regular season is murky. If the veteran big man is forced to miss time to begin the campaign, Al Horford and Charles Bassey would be candidates for increased playing time.

Leonard is expected to miss both of Toronto's first two preseason games as part of his ramp-up plan. He'll have three more chances to suit up before the regular season if he's held out of next Saturday's contest.

Anderson will miss the Raptors' preseason opener after sitting out Thursday's scrimmage with a right knee contusion. His next opportunity to suit up in the preseason will come next Saturday against the Clippers.

Battle was held out of Thursday's scrimmage due to a lower-back injury, and he'll remain sidelined for Toronto's preseason opener. His next chance to play in the preseason will come next Saturday against the Clippers.

Jackson-Davis is one of several Toronto players who won't suit up for Saturday's preseason opener, along with several other names such as Allen Graves (groin), Kawhi Leonard (not injury related), Nate Bittle (foot) and others. Jackson-Davis' next chance to play will come against the Clippers on Saturday, Oct. 10.

Martin missed the Raptors' Summer League finale on July 19, and he didn't play in the preseason opener either. However, even if he's cleared to play before the regular season starts, he shouldn't be a regular member of the rotation. Martin appeared in just 23 regular-season games in 2025-26, averaging just 6.3 minutes and 2.2 points per game.
