Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl is receiving specialized treatment for his persistent back injury, and the team has not yet provided a timetable for his return.
The Raptors are carefully managing Poeltl’s recovery after he played his last game on December 21.
Poeltl’s back issues have affected his performance this season, limiting him to 21 games and reducing his stats to 9.7 points and 7.7 rebounds in 25.3 minutes per game.
The center has struggled to stay healthy, and his absence leaves a key gap in Toronto’s frontcourt rotation.
Despite Poeltl being sidelined, the Raptors remain competitive, holding 4th place in the Eastern Conference with a 28–19 record.
