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.
Utah Jazz guard/forward Ochai Agbaji (knee) will play in Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Agbaji was initially listed as questionable with a knee contusion, but he's been cleared to suit up ahead of Monday's Northwest Division clash. The 2022 first-round pick's playing time has descended in each of his first three contests, with his most recent action coming during six minutes of garbage time during Saturday's 126-104 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Agbaji's role could grow as the season progresses and as we get closer to the trade deadline, since Utah could move Jordan Clarkson and/or Kris Dunn by February. With that said, Agbaji is not fantasy relevant in redraft leagues amid the very early stages.
Utah Jazz guard/forward Ochai Agbaji (knee) is in danger of missing his first game of the season on Monday, as he is regarded as questionable for a visit to Denver. The 23-year-old is on the injury report with a right knee contusion, so he isn't dealing with a serious issue, but it's still bad enough that he might not be able to play on Monday. However, Agbaji's absence shouldn't change a lot for Utah. He has averaged only 12.7 minutes so far, posting 2.3 points. Collin Sexton has seen the most action off the bench, with rookie Keyonte George also getting close to 20 minutes a night. The second unit might see extra time on the court Monday, as the Nuggets are heavy favorites for the night and could easily turn the game into a blowout.
Utah Jazz guard Ochai Agbaji had his team option picked up by the club on Monday. He's now linked with the team through the 2024-25 season. Coming over from Cleveland in the Donovan Mitchell trade, Agbaji had a promising rookie campaign in 2023-24, posting 7.9 points in 20.5 minutes, mainly as a bench player. He was elevated to the starting unit at the end of the season, and the 23-year-old then went on an impressive run by averaging 14.7 points, 2.9 boards, and 2.5 assists in 30.9 minutes across the final 15 games. Agbaji has proven that he can do a job in the NBA, but he faces a lot of competition for playing time on the Jazz backcourt and needs to keep improving to stand out from the crowd.
