The Toronto Raptors have been plagued by injuries. Jakob Poeltl will miss Toronto’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday due to a sprained left ankle for the first time this season.
When Poeltl tripped over Pascal Siakam’s foot during Sunday night’s game against the Golden State Warriors, he was injured. He was down for a little while, but he continued to play.
Alternatively, Toronto may decide to go small and move Gary Trent Jr. back into the starting lineup, putting Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes in the frontcourt. But the Raptors would be severely outmatched by LeBron James and Anthony Davis as a result. On Wednesday night, the Raptors will also play the Los Angeles Clippers. As a result, Poeltl might miss a few games in this series.

Regarding the injury’s severity, nothing is known.
