Injury report
Boston Celtics
- Paul GeorgeDay to day· back Nov 15Report updated ·
Report note
George (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Toronto, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. George will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set due to an illness, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Mavericks. With the veteran forward sidelined, Baylor Scheierman, Sam Hauser and Hugo Gonzalez are all candidates to see increased playing time.
Toronto Raptors
- Kawhi LeonardOut· back Nov 23Report updated ·
Report note
Head coach Darko Rajakovic said Wednesday that Leonard (knee) is doing individual on-court work and is progressing well, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports. The Raptors are expected to provide another update on Leonard's status in about one week, though it's encouraging to see how he's progressed thus far. Collin Murray-Boyles and Ja'Kobe Walter are candidates for increased playing time for as long as Leonard is sidelined.
- Scottie BarnesOut· back Nov 15Report updated ·
Report note
Barnes (groin) is out for Thursday's game against Philadelphia. The star forward is missing a fourth straight game with a groin strain. Ja'Kobe Walter should continue to take on additional playmaking responsibilites in Barnes' stead, while Collin Murray-Boyles should keep starting at power forward.
- Trayce Jackson-DavisDay to day· back Nov 15Report updated ·
Report note
Jackson-Davis is out for Thursday's game against the 76ers due to an illness. Jackson-Davis is missing both ends of Toronto's back-to-back set with the ailment. Jamison Battle should handle a larger role in the frontcourt Thursday.
- Nate BittleOut· back Nov 15Report updated ·
Report note
Bittle (foot) is listed as out for Monday's game against Memphis. Bittle has been battling a foot injury for a couple of months. It's unknown when the rookie will be cleared to suit up for the Raptors, so he should be considered week-to-week for now.
