In his pregame speech ahead of their Wednesday key matchup against the Detroit Pistons, head coach Darko Rajakovic revealed that Jakob Poeltl (back) will finally play.
As such, the veteran big man will perform under minute restrictions in his first game since Dec. 21.
Poeltl has been dealing with back issues all season long. He has missed the last 25 games for the Raptors due to a lower back strain.
The Austrian big man is averaging 9.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 25.3 minutes across 21 games.
