Jamison Battle In and Out of Raptors' Lineup After Back Scare
Jamison Battle is off the injury report after a back issue kept popping up on Toronto's log through early October, but his playing time has been inconsistent — a 10-point game against the Knicks surrounded by several DNPs. Last season the forward carved out a steady three-point role in a reserve spot for the Raptors.

Battle's October has been a back-and-forth with a back and torso issue: day-to-day on Oct. 1, cleared Oct. 10, day-to-day again on Oct. 13 and 14, then cleared again on Oct. 14. He is not on the injury report now. On the floor it has been uneven — zero minutes against Detroit, the Knicks and the Clippers, but 14.1 minutes and 10 points in a loss to New York on Oct. 15. At 25 and in his second season, he is still waiting for a consistent run of minutes early in 2026-27.
