Alijah Martin is day-to-day with a knee and leg issue, after a stretch where he was cleared from and then returned to day-to-day status this week. The Raptors host the Clippers tonight with his availability still unresolved.
What happened
Martin is listed as day-to-day with a knee and leg issue, per the injury report updated Saturday, Oct. 10 at 5:15 p.m. ET. Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports that Martin was a full participant in Monday's practice. The knee has been a recurring entry on the report: Martin was day-to-day with the same knee and leg issue dating back to Sept. 6, was cleared from day-to-day on Tuesday, Oct. 6, then was moved back to day-to-day that same day. The report lists an expected return of Oct. 13.
What it means for the Raptors
Toronto hosts the Clippers tonight, Oct. 10, at 6:30 p.m. ET. Martin was a bench piece last season, averaging 6.3 minutes, 2.2 points, 0.9 rebounds and 0.5 assists over 23 games in 2025-26. If he sits, the minutes load falls on the regulars: Brandon Ingram (33.8 min, 21.5 pts), Scottie Barnes (33.5 min, 18.1 pts), Immanuel Quickley (31.9 min, 16.4 pts) and RJ Barrett (30.3 min, 19.3 pts), with Jakob Poeltl, Jamal Shead, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles rounding out the frontcourt and bench minutes. The 2026-27 season has not started, so there is no record with or without him yet.
