Immanuel Quickley Questionable Vs. Memphis On Monday
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (right hamstring tightness) is questionable to play on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Quickley missed Toronto's Friday win over the Milwaukee Bucks. He is averaging 17.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game this season on 40.9 percent shooting from the field. Jamal Shead and Alijah Martin could see more minutes if Quickley is to miss another game on Monday night. Quickley is a nice contributor of points and assists and also contributes 1.1 steals per game on the defensive end. Fantasy managers will want to see Quickley return to the lineup in what is a good matchup against Memphis.

Immanuel Quickley Iffy Against Memphis
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies after being limited in Sunday's practice. Quickley missed Friday's win over Milwaukee with hamstring tightness, which is notable after an injury to the same leg kept him out of last season's first-round playoff series. The 27-year-old is averaging 17.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 2.6 three-pointers through eight games. Jamal Shead would be in line for another start if Quickley sits after handing out a career-high 16 assists against the Bucks on Friday.

Kawhi Leonard Back in Toronto for Conditioning Work
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is back in Toronto and going through basketball conditioning, according to Sportsnet's Michael Grange. Leonard has not played since Oct. 23 after developing swelling in his knee, but he has completed treatment and is now working through the return-to-play process. The 35-year-old averaged 19.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3.5 steals across his first two games. Toronto is expected to provide another update Tuesday, though a return later in November may be more realistic. Ja'Kobe Walter should continue seeing steady minutes in the starting lineup until Leonard is cleared.

Kawhi Leonard Begins Return-to-Play Process
Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has successfully completed treatment for swelling and will return to Toronto to begin the team's return-to-play process. Leonard has missed five straight games, and the Raptors plan to provide another update in one week. The 35-year-old averaged 19.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3.5 steals in his first two appearances of the season. Nov. 11 against Boston is the earliest he could return, though that will depend on how his ramp-up goes. Ja'Kobe Walter should remain in the starting lineup for now, with Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett continuing to handle much of the scoring.

Kawhi Leonard Looks Sharp in Toronto Return
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Kawhi Leonard scored a game-high 21 points in Tuesday's 148-98 preseason win over the New York Knicks, adding five rebounds and two steals in 17 minutes. Leonard shot 6-for-12 from the field and 4-for-8 from three, with all of his work coming before halftime. New York rested its regular starters, but it was still an encouraging first game back after Leonard went without live action for much of the summer. He averaged 27.9 points and 1.9 steals across 65 games last season, and Toronto's planned workload management remains the biggest concern for his fantasy outlook.

Kawhi Leonard Out Saturday Against Clippers
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Kawhi Leonard will not play Saturday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers in Vancouver as he continues to ramp up his activity. The 35-year-old went through his first full practice Monday after being limited early in camp. Leonard averaged 27.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.9 steals across 65 games last season. His next chance to make his preseason debut comes Tuesday against the Knicks. Leonard's production remains elite when available, but Toronto's cautious approach makes workload management the main fantasy concern entering the season.

Kawhi Leonard Returns to Full Practice Monday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (not injury related) practiced in full Monday for the first time since training camp opened, TSN's Josh Lewenberg reports. The 35-year-old hadn't been able to play live while his trade was on hold, prompting Toronto to ease him through the opening week of camp and sit him for Saturday's preseason opener against Miami. Head coach Darko Rajakovic previously indicated Leonard would get a full week of work before returning to game action, making Toronto's Oct. 13 matchup with the Knicks a possible debut date. Leonard averaged a career-high 27.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists across 65 games last season. Ja'Kobe Walter started Saturday and is the clearest candidate to return to the bench once Leonard is ready.

RJ Barrett Scores 15 Points in Preseason Opener
Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett tied for the team lead with 15 points in Saturday's 129-105 preseason loss to the Miami Heat. He added three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 17 minutes, shooting 3-for-9 from the field, 2-for-4 from three, and 7-for-8 at the line. The free-throw showing was encouraging after Barrett shot 71.7 percent there last season. Kawhi Leonard sat out as part of his preseason ramp-up, but Barrett will face more competition for touches when Leonard joins Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley in Toronto's rotation.

Malachi Smith Lands Two-Way Deal with Raptors
Toronto Raptors guard Malachi Smith will have his Exhibit 10 training-camp contract converted to a two-way deal, according to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto. The spot opened after Toronto moved Jaden Bradley to a standard contract. Smith averaged 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 23.9 minutes across 15 games with Brooklyn last season, shooting 48.5 percent from the field and 43.5 percent from three. Those numbers make him an appealing depth option. Still, with Immanuel Quickley and Jamal Shead ahead of him in the backcourt and Kawhi Leonard occupying perimeter minutes, Smith could spend plenty of time with Raptors 905 unless injuries create a larger role.

Jaden Bradley Lands Four-Year Deal with Raptors
The Toronto Raptors converted guard Jaden Bradley's two-way contract into a four-year, $9.3 million standard deal, according to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto. Only the first season is guaranteed. Bradley, the No. 50 pick in June, won Big 12 Player of the Year at Arizona after averaging 13.3 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.4 steals as a senior. He struggled offensively in Summer League, averaging 6.4 points and 3.0 turnovers on 32.4 percent shooting across five games. With Immanuel Quickley and Jamal Shead ahead of him in the rotation, Bradley may have a tough time carving out enough minutes to matter in fantasy right away.

Malachi Smith Signs with Raptors Ahead of Camp
The Toronto Raptors signed guard Malachi Smith to an undisclosed contract, the team announced Monday. Smith made his NBA debut with the Brooklyn Nets last season, averaging 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists across 15 games while shooting 43.5 percent from three-point range. The 26-year-old flashed late, posting 19 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds against Milwaukee on April 10. With no guaranteed role in Toronto, Smith should be viewed as camp guard depth who could land with Raptors 905 if he misses the final roster. He remains off fantasy radars barring an unexpected rotation path.

Andre Jackson Jr. Agrees to Deal With Raptors
The Toronto Raptors signed guard/forward Andre Jackson Jr. to a training-camp deal on Tuesday. According to Michael Scotto, this is a camp deal and isn't a guaranteed contract for next season. Jackson will need to prove himself during training camp to land a spot on the final roster. Last season, Jackson averaged 2.4 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 8.5 minutes per game across 48 contests with the Milwaukee Bucks. He has spent each of the last three seasons with the Bucks, but he saw a significantly reduced role this past season. The 24-year-old still has potential to be a decent contributor, so we'll see if he can snag a bench role during camp. Even if he makes the roster, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be fantasy-relevant.

Bennedict Mathurin's Free Agency Freezes
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin remains an unsigned restricted free agent, with his situation frozen by the Kawhi Leonard investigation, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The Clippers hold Mathurin's rights and want him back, but they are reluctant to make roster decisions while Leonard's Aspiration case stalls his expected trade to Toronto. Several teams, Detroit among them, have explored a sign-and-trade. The fantasy stakes ride on the outcome: Mathurin is a career-high 17.6-point scorer, but a return to a crowded Clippers perimeter behind Darius Garland would cap his role, while a sign-and-trade to a needier team, say Detroit next to Cade Cunningham, could unlock more. His shaky 31.5 percent three-point stroke limits him in nine-cat regardless. Monitor the resolution before drafting.

Jaden Bradley Lands Two-Way Deal With Raptors
Toronto Raptors guard Jaden Bradley agreed to a two-way deal, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Bradley was the No. 50 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft after winning Big 12 Player of the Year at Arizona, where he averaged 13.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.4 steals while shooting 39.4 percent from three. The 22-year-old has a useful guard profile built on decision-making, defense, and spot-up shooting, but the two-way structure points to a developmental role. With Immanuel Quickley ahead of him, Bradley needs injuries or a roster opening to gain fantasy traction.

Alijah Martin Earns Multi-Year Deal With Toronto
Toronto Raptors guard Alijah Martin is returning to the team on a two-year, $4.8 million deal, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The second-round rookie was sparingly used on his two-way contract last season, but showed enough potential for the team to reward him with a standard contract for the upcoming season. The 24-year-old appeared in just 23 games for the Raptors, but averaged 18.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.3 steals in 25 games in the G-League.
