The Toronto Raptors and Washington Wizards enter Saturday’s matchup with multiple players sidelined, potentially reshaping rotations at Capital One Arena. Tip-off is set for 5:00 p.m. MT (7:00 p.m. ET).
Toronto’s Collin Murray-Boyles is listed as doubtful due to a left thumb sprain, while Chucky Hepburn, A.J. Lawson, Alijah Martin, and Jonathan Mogbo are unavailable as they remain in the G League or on assignment.
Washington faces a deeper injury list, including Trae Young (right knee MCL sprain, quad contusion), D’Angelo Russell (out, not with team), Cam Whitmore (right shoulder deep vein thrombosis), and Alex Sarr (right hamstring strain). Kyshawn George, Leaky Black, Will Riley, and Tristan Vukcevic are all questionable due to injuries. Anthony Davis is out with a left finger sprain.
The Raptors have struggled recently, dropping consecutive games to the San Antonio Spurs (107-110) and Oklahoma City Thunder (107-116).
The Wizards have lost three straight, including a 96-126 home defeat to the Atlanta Hawks on February 26.
Saturday marks the third meeting between the clubs this season. The Raptors won 140-110 in November during the NBA Cup, while the Wizards claimed a 138-117 victory in late December.
Both teams are looking to climb the Eastern Conference standings, with Toronto sitting fifth at 34-25 and Washington struggling at 16-42.
