Toronto Raptors forward Chris Boucher (knee) won't suit up ahead of Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Boucher suffered an injury during Saturday's game that was originally considered a knee contusion. After further testing, Boucher is dealing with a partially torn MCL in his right knee. The good news is, that Boucher probably won't need to have surgery, which means this injury shouldn't end his season. However, it's likely that Boucher does miss some time while he recovers from this injury. In the meantime, Jalen McDaniels and Jontay Porter should see additional minutes in the rotation.
Toronto Raptors forward/center Chris Boucher (knee) has received a questionable tag while dealing with a right knee contusion. The silver lining is that the 31-year-old has been able to suit up in both of the team's last two games, so it's unclear how severe the knee contusion is right now. Fantasy managers will want to check back after an hour or so before tipoff. If he's able to play, Boucher should get plenty of minutes since Jakob Poeltl (hand) is out indefinitely. In his last two games, Boucher has provided a solid amount of points, rebounds, threes, and blocks, so he could provide a good boost to managers who are in the fantasy playoffs. Kelly Olynyk and Jalen McDaniels will see more minutes if Boucher can't play though.
Chris Boucher Still Dealing With An Illness, Questionable Friday
Toronto Raptors power forward Chris Boucher (illness) is regarded as questionable for Friday's clash with the Warriors. He's been feeling under the weather and could be absent for a second consecutive contest due to a non-COVID illness. However, it's already been three games since the last time Boucher saw any action, so he's not really part of what the Raptors are trying to do right now.
Toronto Raptors power forward Chris Boucher (illness) has been downgraded to out for Wednesday's matchup against Dallas. The Raptors lose a frontcourt piece that could have been useful against the Mavericks bigs, although Boucher has been out of the rotation for most games lately. Kelly Olynyk will continue to be the main backup to starting center Jakob Poeltl.
Toronto Raptors power forward Chris Boucher (illness) is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Dallas. The two-time NBA champion is trying to shake off an illness. However, even if Boucher's available to play, it's not guaranteed he will see any action. Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic has used him very sparingly, and the addition of Kelly Olynyk has further complicated his life in Toronto.
Toronto Raptors power forward Chris Boucher (quadriceps) might have to come out of the lineup on Wednesday versus Atlanta, with the team listing him as questionable on the injury report. Boucher needs to overcome a left quadriceps contusion to be able to play. This could be a good matchup for him, as the Hawks are allowing the fourth-most bench points in the league this season. Boucher averages 6.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 14.4 minutes with the second unit. Precious Achiuwa and Jalen McDaniels could get a few extra minutes if Boucher isn't available.
Toronto Raptors power forward Chris Boucher has played well in preseason, and according to Eric Koreen of The Athletic, he will be counted on as a regular member of the rotation when the real action starts. Boucher has always been productive when he's had enough minutes on the court, but that wasn't always the case under former head coach Nick Nurse. The 30-year-old has taken the court twice in preseason so far, averaging 11.5 points and 7.0 rebounds in 17 minutes while blocking one shot in both outings. The Raptors have two more preseason contests to go, giving Boucher further opportunities to impress the new man in charge, Darko Rajakovic.
Toronto Raptors forward/center Chris Boucher (illness) won't suit up for Saturday's meeting with Atlanta. Boucher would have seen plenty of minutes with Pascal Siakam (adductor) and Precious Achiuwa (ankle) unavailable, so it's a tough blow for fantasy managers. However, Thaddeus Young, who fell two rebounds shy of a double-double against Miami on Wednesday, should continue to start, giving him some value for those searching for a streaming option.
Toronto Raptors forward Chris Boucher (hamstring) is set to make his season debut against the Miami Heat on Monday. This is good news for the Raptors with Scottie Barnes (ankle) possibly going to miss some time. Precious Achiuwa will probably benefit the most from the loss of Barnes. However, Boucher should be able to do enough damage to be worth rostering in some fantasy formats. It'll depend on how much playing time is available for the big man.
Toronto Raptors forward/center Chris Boucher (hamstring) won't be making his season debut on Friday against Brooklyn. He was listed as questionable for the game alongside Khem Birch (knee) and Birch is available to play, but Boucher won't be rushed into action. Hamstring injuries always tend to be tricky and it's better to be safe than sorry. Boucher's next chance to get on the court comes Saturday against Miami.
