Jakob Poeltl OUT For Season? – He is Proving EVERYONE Wrong… | Toronto Raptors News
The Toronto Raptors fans that were hoping for a tank were praying that the Toronto Raptors lose enough games to they have the maximum chance of keeping the draft pick for this season the people that were hoping for all that well their prayers their calls have been heard as the Toronto Raptors not only
Obviously blew up their team but are now dealing with injury after injury after injury and we have a major update regarding yaka purle some smaller stuff regarding aaji and some other guys on this Raptor team which makes it seem like that this Raptor group is going to
Be losing a bunch of games to close out this year and last night’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans which I was just too sick to my stomach to actually react and not that it’s a bad thing that you know it’s unexpected that the Raptors lost but it was just such a
Demoralizing l I had to wait to today to actually re you know recover and record on this type of thing but there were some positives that Javon Freeman Liberty definitely had a solid performance in this one so we’re going to break down the latest injury update regarding akaka purle and some of the
Takeaways from the Raptor’s most latest game but let’s dive into what’s been going on what’s and we hit 34,000 subscribers thank you folks you know I’ll get the pizza party animation going forward to celebrate you know no win streak right now but I appreciate everyone that’s been hitting the
Subscribe button again this season you guys have been absolutely killing it you know subscribing the channel checking out the vids it means the world to me you know it’s been an interesting year for the Toronto Raptors and hopefully the start of something big for not just
This channel but the Raptors as a whole so shout out to you folks but let’s dive into what’s been going on because the Toronto Raptor Center yakob ptle has underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his pinky finger on his left hand and he is out indefinitely now the
Toronto Raptors we’ve seen him when yaka Purtle out of the lineup especially where we are depleted in the front Court really just Kelly oen and another guy that I have another video loaded up on regarding Chris bue those are our solidified actual NBA players we have in
The front court and the rest of the guys are prospects projects and smaller players right the Raptors are not deep in that front Court position and yaka Perle going out only hurts his team further and being out in definitely indicates that he’s not back soon and the Raptors have no need no intentions
No reason to rush him back even if it’s just a pinky finger injury and then there’s been some chatter about the injury itself you MD out there on Twitter basically discussed how embiid missed nine games after un undergoing a similar surgery on the fourth finger of
His hand in 2020 the Raptors have 20 games left and uh left less than six weeks remaining in the season and Josh lomberg says it depends on their recovery over the coming weeks obviously but with so little at stake for the Toronto Raptors there’s a reasonable
Chance that both Perle as well as Scotty Burns have played their last games in 2023 and 2024 so again this completely makes sense absolutely zero reason to rush back yaka purle here now at this point and it gives opportunity for you know jonte Porter who again is a fringe NBA
Guy now at this point that to earn himself whether it’s a roster spot with the Toronto Raptors or you know display his talent across the NBA and things like that Mohammad duay is a guy that the Toronto Raptors have signed on a two-way contract that could be given
Some interesting run to close out this season prove that he is the Chris buet replacement some people have been calling for again Chris bue in the doghouse fully right now for darkar rakovich and even with the depleted lineups even with you know no other bigs to really speak of in the rotation right
Chris bue is still not getting run so his future with the Trona rapor seems very much in Jeopardy and seems like he will get traded over the course of off season if not bought out because I feel extremely bad for Buche but I’m talking about him in another video but it’s not
Just yaka purle who’s out with injury right now as oai abaji is also done for the night with left knee soreness well last night’s game and you know aaji is a guy that I’ve been very very happy with his performance but has been a little a little bit inconsistent especially
Shooting as of late a step slow even though I think he’s doing the little things out there really well in the court but injuries left KNE sorness is dealing with sort of an issue again he’s a guy that I definitely want to see play down the stretch of the Season like
Scotty Barnes yaka prle again it’d be nice especially get reper Scotty playing with this young group he’s still a young player himself but we’ve seen him be an All-Star this season he doesn’t have a bunch to prove just has a lot of work to do to you know take his game from
Allstar to star star all you know Superstar level you know at this off seon but that’s Scotty Burns but oai abaji is a guy that you know didn’t find his footing with the Utah Jazz and has been playing well with the Toronto Raptors as of late so him being dealing
With injuries you know Ticky Tac stuff you know close out this sort of year would be annoying so I’m hopeful that he gets healthy is ready to return and prove you know to the torona Raptors that he deserves a spot in the rotation next year or you know try to do that
Have that opportunity but the tono Raptors did play a game last night and it was a it was a bad one it was a bad one by uh any not by any stretch of that imagination basically the Raptors lost by 41 points the fifth largest Marg margin of defeat in franchise history
All 24 threes the most they’ve uh ever allowed in a game you know Trey Murphy had a career high in threes with 10 maid so looking like Klay Thompson out there Trey Murphy the third again a guy that’s been linked to a bunch of Toronto Raptors trades in the past but there’s a
Guy that uh there’s one positive one positive from this game one uh thing we can kind of take away from and it’s that Javon Freeman Li Liberty finally got some minutes finally got some opportunity in just 18 minutes had 13 points had three rebounds one assist you
Know and you know 47 from the field just look good out there look like a solid guy that could come off the bench for the Toronto Raptors and put up buckets you know get some uh points in the paint get some points around the three-point line some jump shots make his free
Throws Don Freeman Liberty is a guy that I’ve been calling to get some run get some minutes with the Toronto Raptors and in his first sort of opportunity he’s proven the Raptor’s coaching staff you know the front office Rong proving that he should have been a guy that was
Called up earlier giving an opportunity in the rotation earlier again leading the g- league in scoring I’m really happy that Javon Freeman Liberty one got some opportunity and two took advant advantage of it proven that he probably should should have been getting some more run you know over the start of this
Year but he was a positive takeaway I mean you know new two-way Ramsey came out got five minutes to run Mohamed duay got three minutes but War hit some buckets early and then cooled off a lot in the second half so that was a positive there again IQ was solid 17 7
And seven a lot of that came early on as well you know early the the tires fell off the Tron Raptors this game went along again Gary was hotter early and then fell off of Cliff Kelly oen 15 points seven assists six rebounds proven why he got that contract stat stuffer
You know a really only big man here now at this point you know RJ 15 points just mid games from our starters you know War I was impressed with with him early in the game as I already mentioned DJ Cur not doing too much Grady dick definitely
Is a worst performance in my opinion since the Resurgence of gr dick you know since he’s gotten the opportunity to be in the Raptor’s rotation but again 20-year-old rookie not going to be perfect we can expect nights like this here and there but you know from the
Pelican side I mean the Raptors had no answer for Trey Murphy the third mans just went nuclear 10 of 14 for the three-point line you know and it it just is what it is it was a rough night for Toronto we’re a young team and things weren’t clicking and you’re an
Inconsistent Squad when you’re a young team that’s kind of just how it goes but you know when your entire team is sort of off the marks you know with exception of joh Freeman Liberty and you’re going up against you know playoff team in the Western Conference that are fighting for
Positional battles and stuff it’s a recipe for disaster so the Raptors again I’ll play the the tanking animation one more time I’ll get it sort of rolling because uh I can see the Toronto Raptors making a push for those uh those bottom seeds in order to keep that draft pick
But let me know what you guys think about the tonal Raptors unfortunate injury news wishing the best for yako purle aaji Scotty Barnes Bruce Brown our entire team that’s dealing with injuries right now but hopefully things will uh we’ll get some good development out of it that’s that’s the true hope and then
Hopefully the Pacers lose a few more games I mean Mavs come on beat the Pacers stop losing them watching more Mavs and Marcel down there covering the old Mavs but you know we got to be beating the Pacers got to lose man so we get to two potential lottery picks this
Year but folks you guys the best I’m signing up cheers
The Toronto Raptors have been absolutely rocked by injuries to close out this season and now we have an update that indicates Jakob Poeltl could be out for the season. Ben Rogers breaks down this report and Javon Freeman Liberty proving everyone wrong with his recent performance.

Wish we still had koloko
Go raps 😞
It's a great pleasure to spend time with you, thank you very much!💟
why is boucher being benched?
I know the Raps want to give
Up this year's Pick and not have to lose 2025 Pick instead but In Life we live by faith not sight or what we think makes sense. They say It's a Weak draft but faith May put us in a position where we end up with a Pick that we will look back years to come to Thank God for the faith that we had to deal with.. We sure do not want to draft 3 players but faith may have us getting a great player in the this draft
The loss last night to NO was a disaster. The Raps are worsening to the point that they cannot even play decent ball. I refuse to watch anything now past the third quarter. How very sad things have become.
That was a pathetic loss. It's sad that nobody seems to understand how to defend the perimeter. The number of wide open threes we gave their best shooter was shocking. Yes, Raps are undermanned and young-ish but defending the 3 should not be this difficult. Hopefully while Jak and Barnes are out Darko will learn how to make adjustments and teach these boys the defensive schemes needed to at least compete.
As always, I'm looking forward to seeing the video🔥🔥
Can the out-tank the Memphis Grizzlies?
I'm not too sure about that.
😮 damn y'all criticize every little thing of the Raptors even when they're playing their best game. Give these guys some space to rebuild and grow. Appreciate what you're getting and wait for things to get better and stop critzicing the effort these guys are putting in who are fairly new to the team.
Too little too late Memphis has 10x the injuries we do and we aren’t gonna catch them imo maybe I’m just too negative but everyone thought we would be like the Thunder when it doesn’t work like that nobody is throwing all their picks at OG and Pascal the way they did PG13 and Russ
I came for the pizza party animation! 🍕🕺
"Injury" 😉
