Trayce Jackson-Davis was cleared Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 7:11 p.m. ET, lifting the day-to-day tag that had followed him since Oct. 10. He is available for Toronto's game against the Knicks that night.
What happened
The Raptors forward moved from day-to-day to cleared on the Tuesday, Oct. 13 injury report, filed at 7:11 p.m. ET. No detail was listed with the clearance. The day-to-day tag he just shed had been applied Saturday, Oct. 10 for a teeth and head issue, itself an update from an earlier day-to-day designation. The report carries no comment from the team on the clearance, and no expected-return timeline was announced because none was needed once he was cleared.
What it means for the Raptors
Toronto hosts the Knicks Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. ET, with the 2026-27 season not yet underway and the team at 0-0. Jackson-Davis is coming off a 2025-26 season in which he played 53 games at 9.4 minutes, averaging 3.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists, a reserve frontcourt role behind Jakob Poeltl. With him cleared, Toronto's deep frontcourt rotation, which leaned on Poeltl, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles in recent box scores, does not need to absorb extra minutes in his absence. There is no record with or without him yet, since no regular-season games have been played.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Jackson-Davis stays off it now that he has been cleared. No expected-return date applies since his status is no longer day-to-day. Toronto's other reported day-to-day cases, Trey Jemison III, Jamison Battle, Chucky Hepburn and Nate Bittle, remain worth tracking as the Raptors move through their remaining preseason schedule before the 2026-27 season opens.
