Jakob Poeltl Facing Another Potential Absence Saturday
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Eastern Conference matchup against the Boston Celtics. Poeltl has been bothered by a lower back problem all season, mostly sitting out games during back-to-back situations. However, even after several rest days, he wasn't in the lineup on Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Saturday marks the start of another back-to-back for Toronto, so at least one absence is coming again for Poeltl this weekend. Sandro Mamukelashvili started at center on Thursday and did well, contributing 18 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and one steal during an 111-105 win. Collin Murray-Boyles also plays more when Poeltl is absent.
