Yup.
Sucks too with Boston then b2b vs 76ers the next 3 games....teams surrounding us in the standings
Uhhh, this is great news that BI is listed as questionable - most likely means it's not long term. Hes not out, not even doubtful.

RJ was the same. Then he ended up missing several weeks.
Chucky Hepburn is set to miss some time.
The Toronto Raptors guard, who is on a two-way contract with the Raptors 905 of the G League, underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, the team announced on Thursday.
Hepburn will be reevaluated in six weeks.

A thumb is much different than a knee knee. I think we can still have some hope here
Perhaps more concerning still is that Poeltl, who has been cleared for contact and is theoretically ramping up his conditioning for a return some time in the coming week, is still feeling some discomfort in his workouts, per sources. It’s nothing structural
— which has been the consistent message since the problem first flared up in training camp — but it’s still a hurdle he’s going to have to clear to get back to full strength.

Yikes . RJ already ruled out.
Probably gonna miss some time.

Poeltl told me his workout in Boston on Thursday was just "so-so” and – per sources – it wasn’t much more encouraging on Friday. That can turn around quickly, but the unpredictability of it all underlines the need for another big man on the roster.

I will guess RJ is out 2 weeks, Usually takes about a week for the sprain to heal where you have no pain if it is minor and about another week for the swelling to go down fully....Unless it wasn't a bad sprain which it looked like it was he is prolly missing 5-8 games if i were to guess

His back was magically fine when he needed a new contract though.

Stop telling the fanbase about injury times if he doesn’t know. We all thought RJ was going to miss a week but he missed 5 or 6 weeks smh.
