Toronto Raptors fans are still waiting for the latest Jacob Poeltl injury -update after the All Star Break, while Fantasy Basketball Fanatists become impatient with the uncertainty surrounding his absence.
Jakob Poeltl Injury Update
The Toronto Raptors might rely on RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes as main point scorers, but the absence of Jakob Poeltl has felt in recent weeks.
The Austrian missed a series of games in the run -up to the All Star Break – five straight matches on the sidelines to be precise – in which Toronto ruled in just one.
His team-leading 10.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per contest are an integral part of the Raptors that keep his head just above water, although the last defeat for the Cavaliers Toronto sentenced to a 38th loss of the season.
An urge to the play-in tournament requires a considerable revival in shape, although the Raptors Faithful is still not wiser if Jakob Poeltl will return.
The Raptors are current +1100 to make the play-in tournament, according to NBA Sportsbooks.
He gave an interview after the practice on Wednesday and suggested that he “feels good” and “gets his wind back” missed successive matches, although there has been no confirmation about his return.

Jakob Poeltl Fantasy Basketbale owners accuse Raptors of ‘Tanking’
Social media are flooded with accusations aimed at the Raptors, in particular of dissatisfied fantasy basketball managers who are awaiting an update about the injury of Jakob Poeltl.
One sub-reddit was a special eye opening, in which one user said: “The Raptors are seriously with refueling. If they can prevent them from playing him, they will do that. ‘
Another user responded with a similar pessimistic representation: “They will do this with all their most important guys. Raptors do not try to win and do not care about building chemistry with their core group. They refuel for the best choice. I don’t necessarily expect shutdowns, but they will be extra every little bump or bruise. “
This is of course probably hyperbolic, since he shared a positive update in his interview on Wednesday, but as the seasonal perspectives of Toronto decrease, it is difficult not to ignore the possibility of ‘refueling’ his versions for a favorable NBA concept choice.
