Toronto Raptors forward Ochai Agbaji (hand) had to leave Wednesday's game against the Celtics with a right hand laceration, and he could be forced to miss Friday's game against the Bucks. Agbaji has averaged 28.5 minutes per game in his 39 games this season, producing 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 0.8 steals per game. He has been in a reduced role since the Raptors have gotten other key members of their rotation back, and if Agbaji is ultimately ruled out, there would be more minutes and usage in the second unit for Bruce Brown, Jamison Battle, and Chris Boucher.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Ochai Agbaji (hip) will return to action on Saturday against Detroit. He missed Thursday's meeting with Cleveland due to a hip issue and was also initially questionable for Saturday's game. However, Toronto has upgraded Agbaji from questionable to available. The 24-year-old has averaged 10.8 points and 3.8 rebounds across 29.5 minutes this season. He had a productive start to the campaign when the Raptors were battling injuries. Agbaji's numbers have dropped to 8.8 points and 2.5 rebounds this month with Toronto healthy, so he doesn't have much to offer fantasy managers.
Toronto Raptors forward Ochai Agbaji (hip) will not play on Thursday against the Cavaliers due to a left hip pointer injury that he suffered after just eight minutes against the Knicks on Wednesday. While Agbaji doesn't usually have high usage when Toronto is at full strength, he has played 29.3 minutes per game in his 37 contests this year. His absence opens up significant playing time, and Chris Boucher and Bruce Brown are the top candidates to get a chance to step up with Agbaji is out. Toronto's next game is scheduled for Saturday against the Pistons, but it's unclear if Agbaji will be ready to return for that contest or need longer to recover.
Toronto Raptors guard Ochai Agbaji (hip) could return from a three-game absence on Friday but has received a questionable tag for the matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Agbaji has been suffering from a right hip contusion and seems to be trending in the right direction now that he's not getting ruled out ahead of time. If Agbaji can suit up, he should join the starting five again and receive north of 25 minutes. The Raptors are still trying to find players for the future and Agbaji may find his spot in the rotation. He should garner some DFS attention, especially with the amount of playing time available.
Toronto Raptors guard Ochai Agbaji (hip) will be unavailable for a second consecutive contest on Tuesday versus the Lakers. He's suffered a hip contusion ahead of the final couple of weeks of the regular season. Agbaji averaged over 25 minutes per game last month, as Toronto had a proper look at the 23-year-old, who was brought in from Utah in February. His absence should keep Gradey Dick relevant in fantasy hoops despite the likely return of Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) and RJ Barrett (conditioning) on Tuesday.
Toronto Raptors forward Ochai Agbaji (hip) won't play on Sunday versus the 76ers. He took a hard fall during Sunday's blowout loss to the New York Knicks and didn't return after logging just five minutes. With the Raptors' lengthy injury report, Agbaji had been more involved than usual, posting double-digit scoring performances in his previous four games leading up to Friday's game. Fortunately, RJ Barrett (personal) has a chance to return after missing a few weeks. But if Barrett isn't ready for action, Gradey Dick and Gary Trent Jr. should stay the team's top contributors. At the same time, Garrett Temple, coming off a 15-point showing, may remain relevant for DFS participants.
Toronto Raptors forward Ochai Agbaji (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It's not shocking to see Agbaji on the injury report after he was forced to exit early on Tuesday due to left knee soreness. The Raptors are already without Scottie Barnes (hand) and Bruce Brown (knee) for the time being. That absence of Agbaji would mean even more minutes for Gradey Dick and Jordan Nwora. Between the two, Dick is the player to have rostered with the Raptors banged up right now.
Toronto Raptors guard Ochai Agbaji (calf) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Pelicans. He lasted only 16 minutes, ending the night with three points. With Scottie Barnes (hand) out indefinitely, Agbaji has gotten more involved. The 23-year-old entered Tuesday night coming off a 13-point, nine-rebound effort versus the Hornets on Sunday. Hopefully, Agbaji won't miss much time. But until he's cleared to suit up, Gradey Dick may find himself in the starting lineup.
Toronto Raptors guard Ochai Agbaji has been listed as questionable to make his debut with his new team on Friday. The 23-year-old was part of the deal that sent Kira Lewis Jr., Otto Porter Jr., and a first-round pick to the Jazz in return for Kelly Olynyk. This year, Agbaji was seeing around the same minutes per game, but his usage wasn't as high as his rookie year. With the Raptors, he'll likely see a boost in minutes while he plays a bigger role off of the bench for a rebuilding squad. He probably won't crack the starting lineup over guys like RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, but there's a void in the backcourt that he can fill. He's only a viable fantasy option in very deep leagues at the moment.
Utah Jazz center Kelly Olynyk and guard Ochai Agbaji have been traded to the Toronto Raptors for Kira Lewis Jr., Otto Porter Jr., and a first-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The draft pick will be the least favorable between the Thunder, Clippers, Rockets, and Jazz. Olynyk should slot right into the backup center role behind Jakob Poeltl while Agbaji will likely be one of the first two players off of the bench in the backcourt along with newly-acquired Spencer Dinwiddie. Olynyk could become viable in deeper leagues after he averaged around 20 minutes a night in Utah, he could very likely see some added minutes in a less crowded frontcourt. Agbaji, on the other hand, will have to see where he falls in the rotation before becoming a must-add candidate in fantasy leagues.
