On Tuesday, Jakob Poeltl, the center for the Toronto Raptors, underwent surgery in New York following a dislocated pinkie finger on his left hand, an injury sustained during the game against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday.

The duration of Poeltl’s absence from the court remains uncertain, leading to speculation that he might be sidelined for the rest of the season.

Additionally, the Raptors are dealing with the absence of Scottie Barnes, who underwent hand surgery for a fracture, and he is anticipated to miss the remainder of the season as well.
