The Raptors announced that the veteran big man will be out for another week due to back issues.
The Toronto Raptors are set to play their next couple of games without Jakob Poeltl.
The team announced Monday that Poeltl will continue to be inactive for another week due to back issues. The Raptors have indicated that the big man is currently completing his "intensive rehabilitation and strengthening" program.
Powell has been hampered by back injuries this year. His complication led his numbers to drop, averaging just 9.7 points and 7.7 boards in 25.3 minutes this season across 21 games.
He hasn't played since Dec. 21, missing Toronto's last four games.
Upon this update, the Raptors' latest non-guaranteed signing of Mo Bamba is a logical move to aid the team's frontcourt presence.
