Toronto Raptors forward/center Jonathan Mogbo (ankle) will play in Tuesday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, making a third consecutive start. Mogbo hurt his right ankle last time out against the Houston Rockets, but Toronto has upgraded him from probable to available. The rookie big man has done a good job filling in for Jakob Poeltl (hip), but Mogbo faces a very difficult matchup on Tuesday against Joel Embiid. Orlando Robinson will provide cover for Mogbo off the bench, with Chris Boucher also being an option.
Toronto Raptors forward/center Jonathan Mogbo (ankle) has been listed as probable on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 23-year-old rookie has sustained a right ankle sprain but appears to be trending in the right direction and will likely make a third consecutive start on Tuesday. Mogbo has received the nod in back-to-back games after Jakob Poeltl (hip) exited the lineup. He has finished with double-digit points in three consecutive games and had a career-high four blocks in Sunday's loss to the Houston Rockets. Additionally, Mogbo has averaged 5.3 rebounds over the past three contests.
Toronto Raptors power forward Jonathan Mogbo (hip) was limited to 18 minutes against Sacramento on Wednesday. He exited the game in the fourth quarter with a right hip pointer injury. The 23-year-old rookie notched five points and five rebounds before leaving. Mogbo has looked promising early in the campaign, averaging 6.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 17.7 minutes. However, he could now be forced to miss some time. Toronto also lost Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) on Wednesday, which means the team's depth will be tested even further going forward.
