Otto Porter Jr. (knee) is regarded as doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against the Lakers. He's sat out four games already, and it doesn't look like Porter Jr. will be able to play against the NBA Cup winners. His absence isn't a big loss for the Raptors, as Porter Jr. has averaged less than 12 minutes in 15 games this season. Health issues have started to ruin another campaign for the 30-year-old, but at least Porter Jr. finally received his 2022 championship ring when the Raptors visited the Warriors in San Francisco on Sunday.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward
Otto Porter Jr. (foot) is considered questionable for Wednesday's encounter with the Hawks. The veteran is battling a left foot contusion and might have to skip a second consecutive game. In total, Porter Jr. has played only 11 times for Toronto this season, logging 11.8 minutes, so his absence won't be a big issue for the team and shouldn't have an impact in fantasy basketball.

Toronto Raptors forward
Otto Porter Jr. played his first game since Nov. 15, 2022, on Friday, logging 10 minutes in a blowout victory over Washington. The 30-year-old notched four points and had four rebounds and two assists with one block. After winning the championship with Golden State in 2022, Porter Jr. signed a two-year, $12.4 million contract in Toronto, but he played just eight games during his debut season. Porter Jr. dislocated his toe and underwent season-ending surgery in January. He was finally able to participate in a full practice a week ago and now looks ready for the 2023-24 campaign. The veteran, who has averaged 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.1 steals for his career, can bring a lot to the table, but it's not fully clear how big of a role he gets to play with the Raptors.

Toronto Raptors forward
Otto Porter Jr. has started work at training camp with no health issues. The 30-year-old had a nightmare regarding injuries in 2022-23, playing in only eight games. Porter Jr. signed a two-year deal as a free agent with the Raptors last summer, but it's almost like the 2023-24 campaign will be his debut season with the team. Having averaged 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.1 steals for his career with close to 40 percent shooting from deep, Porter Jr. can help out the Raptors in many areas. But it remains to be seen how he's going to fit into the team.
