Jakob Poeltl

Poeltl is set to miss his second game of the month on Thursday. Chris Boucher and Kelly Olynyk will get chances to contribute more in the aftermath.

Poeltl was scheduled to undergo an MRI after exiting Monday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls with a left groin injury in the fourth quarter, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

With the Raptors already down Immanuel Quickley and Scottie Barnes and losing Jakob Poeltl during this contest, RJ Barrett and Dick continue to carry the offense. While the Raptors still lost, they're going to need the 21-year-old shooting guard to see a lot of usage to even keep most games close. Most of Dick's value will continue to come from points and threes as it did once again Monday.

Poeltl will not return to Monday's game against the Bulls due to a left groin injury, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. He'll finish the game with six points (3-7 FG), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes.

Poeltl injured his groin when he planted his foot on defense in the second half against the Bulls Monday. He ended up doing the splits, almost as if there was a wet spot on the floor. Poeltl headed to the locker room and was quickly ruled out so he could be down for at least another game or two in the future.
