Ja’Kobe Walter is nearing a return with the Toronto Raptors.
The Raptors 2024 first-round pick has been assigned to the Raptors 905, according to Louis Zatzman of Raptors Republic.
Walter has worked his way back from an AC joint injury and he will begin his rookie season in the G League as he gets back into game shape. He will not be available tonight against the Denver Nuggets. Ulrich Chomche has also been sent to the G League for assignment and will not be available as well.
The Raptors have listed RJ Barrett as questionable for tonight’s game. It’s the second straight game the Canadian has been listed as questionable as he works his way back from an AC joint sprain that has kept him sidelined since Toronto’s first preseason game.
It appears the Raptors will be without Immanuel Quickley again who continues to tend to a pelvic injury. He’s been listed as doubtful and this will be the third straight game he’s missed.
The Raptors will continue to be without Kelly Olynyk and Bruce Brown as well. Olynyk is dealing with a lingering back injury, while Brown has been recovering from offseason knee surgery.
If Barrett doe suit up, Ochai Agbaji will head back to the bench for Toronto. Davion Mitchell should continue to be the starter in place of Quickley.
