Top Jakob Poeltl News

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Stuffs stat sheet in loss

    Poeltl closed with 16 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 27 minutes during Thursday's 114-104 loss to Miami.

    Poeltl was scratched from the starting lineup due to back spasms only a few minutes before tipoff, but the big man entered the game in the first quarter and didn't look hindered by the injury. Aside from posting a solid stat line, Poeltl also logged 27 minutes compared to Bruno Fernando's two-minute cameo -- and Fernando was the one who replaced him in the starting unit. It seemed like an emergency measure, though, and Poeltl's availability going forward isn't expected to be affected.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Removed from starting lineup

    Poeltl is not starting Thursday against the Heat due to back spasms, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Poeltl apparently felt something during warmups and has been downgraded to doubtful, so his chances of seeing the court Thursday have reduced significantly. This means Bruno Fernando will start at center, while Chris Boucher could also see a role off the bench. Poeltl isn't likely to step on the hardwood.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Checks in off bench

    Poeltl (back) has entered Thursday's game against the Heat, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Poeltl was a late scratch from the starting lineup due to back spasms, but he was able to check in off the bench only a few minutes into the first quarter. The team will likely monitor the big man closely as the game unfolds to determine his workload Thursday evening.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Posts another double-double

    Poeltl accumulated 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 113-108 loss to New York.

    Poeltl didn't have his best shooting performance -- according to his recent standards -- but he still provided enough offense to deliver his fourth double-double across his last five appearances. The veteran big man continues to play at a high level on both ends of the court and is averaging 15.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 steals per game over his last 10 appearances.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Posts 20 points in return

    Poeltl posted 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 125-118 loss to the Mavericks.

    An illness prevented Poeltl from playing against the Thunder on Thursday, but the veteran big man was able to return for Saturday's bout. He finished as the Raptors' second-leading scorer behind Gradey Dick (27), and Poeltl's seven assists were a season high. Over his last 10 outings, Poeltl has averaged 18.0 points on 63.8 percent shooting, 11.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 steals over 33.5 minutes per game.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Good to go vs. Mavs

    Poeltl (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

    Poeltl was sidelined for Thursday's game against the Thunder due to an illness, but he'll limit his absence to just one game. Over his last 10 outings, Poeltl has averaged 18.5 points on 63.2 percent shooting, 12.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals over 33.6 minutes per game.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Questionable for Saturday

    Poeltl (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

    The big man missed the 129-92 loss to the Thunder due to an illness, and Bruno Fernando got the start in his place. However, the questionable tag is a sign that Poeltl might be ready to return after a one-game absence, and his presence would give a huge boost to the Raptors on both ends of the court. He's averaging 16.0 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 blocks per game this season.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Won't play Thursday

    Poeltl (illness) is out for Thursday's game versus the Thunder, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

    Poeltl has been downgraded from questionable to out Thursday due to an illness. His next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Dallas.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Iffy against OKC

    Poeltl is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Thunder due to an illness.

    Poeltl is in danger of missing his first contest of the 2024-25 season due to an illness. If the 29-year-old big man is forced to sit out, Jonathan Mogbo, Chris Boucher and Bruno Fernando are candidates to receive increased playing time.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Records 12th double-double

    Poeltl racked up 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 win over Miami.

    Poeltl has quietly crept into the top 10 in the double-double rankings, besting usual residents like Bam Adebayo, Rudy Gobert and Evan Mobley in the category. Although Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett are Toronto's current standouts, Poeltl possesses the steadiest floor on the team. He's dipped below 10 points five times this season and has recorded less than 10 rebounds only six times.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Posts another double-double

    Poeltl fouled out of Friday's 121-111 loss to the Heat after recording 24 points (10-11 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block over 32 minutes.

    Poeltl fouled out Friday but still managed to record his ninth double-double of the month. The big man is averaging 16.6 points and 11.7 rebounds, to go along with 2.4 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 steals per game, since the beginning of November. He's also recorded at least 20 points five times, so he has a sizable role as a scoring option for Toronto.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Pulls down 19 rebounds Sunday

    Poeltl posted 12 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 122-108 loss to Cleveland.

    Poeltl recorded his fifth straight double-double, and it was the third time he grabbed at least 15 rebounds in that span. He's always been considered a strong two-way presence, but the veteran has taken his game to another level in 2024-25. He's racked up 10 double-doubles already while averaging 16.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 blocks per game this season.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Continues dominant stretch

    Poeltl produced 30 points (13-18 FG, 4-6 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 130-119 victory over Indiana.

    It wouldn't be a stretch to say Poeltl has been one of the best big men in The Association over the last two weeks, and his numbers back that up. The veteran has four double-doubles in his past five appearances, reaching the 30-point mark in his past two. During that five-game stretch dating back to Nov. 10, Poeltl is averaging 23.4 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks per game while shooting 65.9 percent from the floor.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Career night vs. Boston

    Poeltl finished Saturday's 126-123 overtime loss to the Celtics with 35 points (16-19 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one steal over 37 minutes.

    Poeltl scored a career-high 33 points Saturday as he dominated the paint all night long. He grabbed a game-high six offensive rebounds in the process and carried the scoring load for a short-handed Raptors team playing the second leg of a back-to-back. Poeltl now has eight double-doubles through the first 14 games of the regular season, and he's averaging a career-high 16.2 points along with 11.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 steals over 32.6 minutes per game.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Monster double-double in loss

    Poeltl finished Friday's 99-95 loss to the Pistons with 25 points (12-21 FG, 1-4 FT), 19 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 35 minutes.

    The Raptors came up short in this battle of rebuilding franchises, but Poeltl delivered an impressive performance on both ends of the court. The big man posted a season-high mark in points and tied his season-high mark in rebounds. This was his sixth double-double of the season.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Busy night on defense

    Poeltl racked up 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 99-85 loss to the Bucks.

    The veteran center was the second-leading scorer for the Raptors on the night, but a very distant second behind Gradey Dick's 32. Poeltl's five combined steals and blocks were a season high, and he continues to see elevated usage while Scottie Barnes (orbital bone) is sidelined. Through the first 12 games this season, Poeltl is on pace for career highs in points (13.9), boards (11.1), assists (2.9) and steals (1.2) while also supplying 1.3 blocks a contest.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Records double-double

    Poeltl closed Sunday's 123-103 loss to the Lakers with 14 points (7-12 FG), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes.

    Poeltl recorded his third double-double across six outings in November. The big man is averaging a solid 14.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per game in that span, and his two-way play has been one of the few bright spots for a struggling Toronto team in 2024-25.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Excels with double-double

    Poeltl accumulated 24 points (11-18 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals in 32 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 121-119 loss to the Nuggets.

    Poeltl logged his fourth double-double of the season and is one of the more surprising big men in the Eastern Conference through the first two weeks of play. Injuries can be a concern for Poeltl, who recorded only 50 regular-season games during his first year with the Raptors. If he can stay healthy, the team has an excellent chance to improve on last year's 25-57 record.

  • Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: All-around performance in loss

    Poeltl recorded 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and three blocks over 35 minutes during Friday's 131-125 loss to the Lakers.

    Despite allowing 38 points in a head-to-head matchup with Anthony Davis, Poeltl recorded his third straight double-double in Friday's contest. Poeltl also tallied a season-high six assists. If the 29-year-old big man can continue to perform at this level, he will be one of the most valuable centers in fantasy.
