What happened
Jemison was ruled out for Tuesday's preseason meeting with the Knicks, with the Raptors listing him as day-to-day because of an undisclosed issue. He had no previous status on the injury report before Tuesday's 7:11 p.m. ET update. Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reported that Jemison, dealing with the undisclosed injury, has been ruled out for the game. The team lists an expected return date of Oct. 15.
What it means for the Raptors
Toronto hosts the Knicks on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET in a preseason game, with the regular-season record still 0-0 since the 2026-27 season has not started. Jemison played a bench role last season, averaging 6.3 minutes, 1.0 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.4 assists over 13 games. With him out, the frontcourt minutes fall to Jakob Poeltl, who has logged 25.0 minutes and 10.7 points, along with Sandro Mamukelashvili (21.9 minutes, 11.2 points) and Collin Murray-Boyles (21.9 minutes, 8.5 points). There is no with-or-without-him record to cite, since no regular-season games have been played yet.
What to watch
The Raptors list an expected return date of Oct. 15 for Jemison, though no further timeline beyond that has been announced. His next appearance on the injury report will show whether that target holds as Toronto continues its preseason schedule. Until then, he remains day-to-day with the issue undisclosed.
