Injury report
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 12Report updated ·
Report note
Barnes (groin) is out for Wednesday's game against Boston. The star forward is missing a third straight game with a groin strain. Ja'Kobe Walter should continue to handle additional playmaking duties in Barnes' stead.
- Trayce Jackson-DavisDay to day· back Nov 12Report updated ·
Report note
Jackson-Davis (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Jackson-Davis is under the weather and will sit out the front end of this back-to-back set. If Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) joins Jackson-Davis on the inactive list, Jamison Battle and Kyle Anderson would likely see increased burn.
- 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.
Cleveland Cavaliers
- Sam MerrillOut· back Nov 16Report updated ·
Report note
Merrill (elbow) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks. Merrill has battled a lingering elbow issue since the preseason. He will now miss a third consecutive contest, with his next opportunity to suit up coming Friday in Miami. While Merrill is sidelined, Craig Porter, Meleek Thomas and Tyrese Proctor should see more minutes.
