Collin Murray-Boyles is day-to-day with a rest issue and will not play Friday night against the Pistons. The Raptors will lean more on Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl up front while the forward sits out the preseason game.
What happened
Murray-Boyles was listed as day-to-day Friday with a rest issue, and no previous status is on file for this designation. He is sitting out Friday's preseason game against the Pistons for rest, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. The 21-year-old forward is one of nine Raptors on Friday's injury report as Toronto manages its rotation through the preseason. Murray-Boyles was day-to-day earlier this fall with a finger and arm issue on Sept. 6 and was cleared from that designation on Sept. 28.
What it means for the Raptors
Toronto is 0-0 with the 2026-27 regular season not yet underway as the Raptors play Friday's preseason game against the Pistons. Murray-Boyles averaged 8.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 21.9 minutes across 57 games last season, and his absence shifts frontcourt minutes toward Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl, who have logged 33.8, 33.5 and 25.0 minutes per game, respectively, without him. RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and Sandro Mamukelashvili also pick up extra run. With no regular-season games played yet, there is no record with or without him to compare.
