Trayce Jackson-Davis is day-to-day with an undisclosed issue and will sit out Saturday's preseason game against the Heat. The Raptors forward, who was not previously on the injury report, is expected back Oct. 10.
What happened
Trayce Jackson-Davis is day-to-day and will not play Saturday night against the Heat, a preseason game at 7 p.m. ET on NBA TV. The forward was not previously listed on the injury report. The Raptors' report, updated Saturday at 5:56 p.m. ET, lists the issue as undisclosed and expects him back Oct. 10. According to Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca, Jackson-Davis won't play against the Heat in Saturday's preseason game due to undisclosed reasons.
What it means for the Raptors
Toronto hosts Miami later Saturday at 7 p.m. ET on NBA TV, still part of the preseason slate. Jackson-Davis averaged 9.4 minutes, 3.4 points and 2.7 rebounds in 53 games last season, mostly as a reserve big. With him out, the frontcourt minutes fall to Jakob Poeltl, who averaged 25.0 minutes and 10.7 points without Jackson-Davis on the floor, along with Sandro Mamukelashvili (21.9 minutes, 11.2 points) and Collin Murray-Boyles (21.9 minutes, 8.5 points). The Raptors have not played a regular-season game yet, so there is no record to measure with or without him.
What to watch
The next injury report, likely issued close to Toronto's following preseason game, will show whether Jackson-Davis's day-to-day label changes or clears. He is expected back Oct. 10, which would put him in line for Toronto's preseason games around that date. No further preseason games are detailed here, so his next appearance depends on how the undisclosed issue responds between now and then.
