The Toronto Raptors provided key information on injuries Saturday afternoon precedes a matchup against the Indiana Pacers as the team continues its five-game homestand.

Toronto (31-22) will host Indiana (13-39) on Saturday at 3:00 PM ET. The latest Raptors injury report lists the center Jakob Poeltl as questionable as he continues to recondition for a return to competition, while guarding Immanuel Quickley deals with a right ankle sprain.

Poeltl, 30, has not appeared in a game since Dec. 21when he was limited to seven minutes in a 96–81 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. He finished that contest with two points and two rebounds before exiting with an injury.

Despite his shortened appearance, Poeltl has been productive when available this season. Through 21 games, he averaged 9.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game while shooting a career-high 69.3 percent from the field. He logged 25.3 minutes per contest and remains a key presence for Toronto on both ends of the floor.

Jakob Poeltl, Immanuel Quickley injury status looms for Raptors vs. Pacers

Quickley, 26, is coming off one of his strongest outings of the season. He last played on Thursday night at a A 123–107 win over the Chicago Bullsrecording 24 points, five assists, two rebounds and a steal. He shot 9-for-20 from the field and 3-for-11 from three-point range while logging 31 minutes.

On the season, Quickley is averaging 17.1 points, 6.1 assists, 4.4 rebounds and a career-high 1.3 steals per game. He is shooting 44.3 percent from the field and 37.6 percent from beyond the arc over 50 appearances, playing 32.5 minutes per game as one of Toronto’s primary backcourt options.

The Raptors enter Saturday’s matchup firmly in the Eastern Conference playoffs as Indiana continues to prioritize development amid a rebuilding season. Toronto relied on defensive consistency throughout its matchup, and the potential availability of Poeltl and Quickley could affect its rotation against a Pacers team that plays at one of the faster paces in the league.

Further clarity on the status of both players is expected closer to tip-off as Toronto looks to keep the momentum going at home.
