Trayce Jackson-Davis will not play against the Clippers in Saturday's preseason game because of a dental issue, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports. The forward remains Day-To-Day, the same status he carried into the injury report, with an expected return of Oct. 13.
What happened
The injury report listed Jackson-Davis as Day-To-Day as of Saturday, Oct. 10 at 5:15 PM ET, with teeth and head as the detail, unchanged from his previous Day-To-Day designation. Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports he will not play against the Clippers in Saturday's preseason game. It is the latest entry in a string of Day-To-Day designations for Jackson-Davis this month: Day-To-Day on Oct. 6 for a head issue, a clearance that same day, then back to Day-To-Day, after an earlier Day-To-Day stretch on Oct. 3 for an undisclosed issue.
What it means for the Raptors
Toronto hosts the Clippers on Saturday, Oct. 10 at 6:30 PM ET in preseason, and the 2026-27 regular season has not started, so the Raptors carry a 0-0 record with no games played with or without Jackson-Davis to measure yet. Last season he appeared in 53 games averaging 9.4 minutes, 3.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists, frontcourt depth off the bench. With him out, that frontcourt time falls to Jakob Poeltl (25.0 minutes, 10.7 points), Sandro Mamukelashvili (21.9 minutes, 11.2 points) and Collin Murray-Boyles (21.9 minutes, 8.5 points), the three bigs who have absorbed the rotation minutes in his absence.
What to watch
Jackson-Davis is expected back by Oct. 13, though that is not yet confirmed by a game appearance. The next injury report will show whether his Day-To-Day status changes or clears entirely. Toronto continues its preseason slate in the days following the Clippers game, and his teeth and head issue is the detail to track on each new report before the regular season opens.
