Tue Jan 922:00Otto Porter Jr. Ruled Out For Tuesday
Toronto Raptors forward Otto Porter Jr. (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks the fourth game in a row that Porter has missed due to a right knee sprain. At the moment, it's uncertain when Porter is going to get back on the court. To be honest, Porter wasn't a big part of the rotation anyway, so his absence isn't going to have much of an impact on the Raptors roster. The team will likely see a committee approach to fill the void.

Tue Jan 910:00Otto Porter Jr. Doubtful For Tuesday's Game
Toronto Raptors forward 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.

Wed Dec 13 202309:48Otto Porter Jr. Could Miss Another Game On Wednesday
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.

Sat Oct 21 202306:26Otto Porter Jr. Finally Available
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.

Wed Oct 11 202316:23Otto Porter Jr. Hopes To Play In Preseason
Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said guard/forward Otto Porter Jr. (toe) participated in the 3-on-3 part of Wednesday's practice and is optimistic he will play at some point this preseason. Porter missed Sunday's preseason opener versus the Sacramento Kings as he works his way back from January's foot surgery for a dislocated toe, but he doesn't seem to be very far off from coming back. The 30-year-old three-and-D swingman does not appear to be dealing with a different setback at this interval. The Cairns Taipans will pay a visit to Toronto's Scotiabank Arena for an exhibition on Sunday, which marks the oft-injured Porter's next date for a possible return to the court. In the meantime, expect Chris Boucher, Jalen McDaniels, and Thaddeus Young to pick up the slack in the Raptors' second unit for however long Porter may be shelved.

Wed Oct 4 202309:35Otto Porter Jr. Healthy For New Campaign
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.

Fri Dec 16 202215:06Otto Porter Jr. Out For About Another Month
Toronto Raptors forward Otto Porter Jr. (toe) has only played eight out of a possible 28 games so far this season. He was out with a couple of other injuries and then left for personal reasons, and now he's out again with a toe dislocation. Head coach Nick Nurse said that Porter saw a specialist and he still seems to be about a month away from returning to the court. By now, there aren't many streaming options left on the Raptors because Porter hasn't been playing. When he does come back, Thaddeus Young is likely to take a hit in fantasy value.

Thu Oct 27 202215:29Otto Porter Jr. "Out A While" With Personal Issue
Toronto Raptors forward Otto Porter Jr. has missed the start of the season with a hamstring problem, and he is now expected to be "out a while" for personal reasons. The Raptors have done well without Porter Jr., especially this week by beating Miami and Philadelphia in back-to-back games, but they would definitely like to have him available, and the 29-year-old is expected to play a significant part off the bench once he's finally ready to play. Until that happens, Precious Achiuwa and Chris Boucher will continue to lead the reserves. The starters are getting some massive minutes as well early in the season.

Wed Oct 26 202218:13Otto Porter Jr. Not Available On Wednesday
Toronto Raptors forward Otto Porter Jr. (hamstring) won't play on Wednesday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran continues to be plagued by a hamstring strain. However, there's good news, as head coach Nick Nurse indicated Porter is heading in the right direction, so fantasy managers could see him debut for his new team relatively soon. Scottie Barnes (ankle) may also remain out, meaning Precious Achiuwa, who had 22 rebounds and 10 points in the win over Miami, should continue to benefit.

Tue Oct 25 202215:56Otto Porter Jr. Doubtful To Make Season Debut On Wednesday
Toronto Raptors forward Otto Porter Jr. (hamstring) has yet to make his season debut as he deals with a hamstring injury. While he's listed as doubtful for their game on Wednesday, the designation is an upgrade. He seems to be trending in the right direction and could be in line to make his debut soon. Right now, there are plenty of other players out there that can give you the same production as Porter. Fantasy managers should monitor when he comes back and how many minutes he's going to play when he does step foot on the court.

Tue Oct 18 202214:48Otto Porter Jr. Out For Opening Game
Toronto Raptors forward Otto Porter Jr. (hamstring) was ruled out for their first game on Wednesday. The 29-year-old forward signed with the Raptors this past offseason after winning a championship with the Warriors. His veteran presence off the bench is something that the team was looking for alongside Thaddeus Young. It looks like we'll have to wait and see how Porter will gel with the team, as he's still recovering from a hamstring injury. Last season, he averaged 8.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He doesn't have much value in fantasy unless he's needed as a streamer later on in the season.

Sun Jul 3 202215:58Otto Porter Jr. On Track To Join Raptors On Two-Year Deal
Veteran forward Otto Porter Jr. will reportedly become a member of the Toronto Raptors in the days ahead on a two-year contract worth $12.4 million, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN. The second year of the deal will have a player option, while the Raptors get additional frontcourt depth in the form of a reigning NBA champion. Injuries have tripped up Porter the past few seasons, but he managed to average 8.2 points and 5.7 boards across 22.2 minutes per outing last year with Golden State. If all breaks right for Toronto, Porter will likely key the team's bench alongside Chris Boucher, with DFS upside on nights where key wing producers are unavailable.

Sat Jun 18 202218:32Otto Porter Jr. Wants To Stay With Warriors
Golden State Warriors forward Otto Porter Jr. is hopeful to remain with the organization next season. The veteran forward was a key contributor during the Warriors' title run. He started in the last three games of the NBA Finals. Porter will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, but clearly would love to stay with Golden State. This team is built to continue winning, so it's not surprising that Porter would like to stay there. Porter played well with the Warriors, so it's likely that they'd consider bringing him back. He provided 10th round fantasy value in 9-cat formats. That will likely decrease next season, assuming he stays with Golden State. Klay Thompson missed a majority of the 2021 season, but is back at full strength.

The veteran has a sore left foot, an issue he's been battling since the previous series against Dallas. However, he's good to go and will start.

Fri Jun 10 202220:56Otto Porter Jr. To Start In Game 4
Golden State Warriors forward Otto Porter Jr. (foot) will be in the starting five for Friday's Game 4 against the Boston Celtics. The veteran forward was cleared for the game after dealing with a foot issue. He'll jump into the starting lineup for the first time during this postseason. The Warriors went 10-5 during the 15 games that Porter started during the regular season. This gives the Warriors a disadvantage on the glass, but we'll see how this goes for Golden State. The move to the starting five certainly gives Porter more fantasy value.

Tue Jun 7 202222:21Otto Porter Jr. Still Plagued By Foot Issue

However, the veteran received just 15 minutes on Sunday night, ceding work to Gary Payton II, who had 25. Nonetheless, it's unknown how much the ailment is still bothering Porter, so DFS managers may want to use discretion if he manages to suit up.
