Jamison Battle Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Knicks vs Raptors game today with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 8, 2025
Doubtful for Tuesday
Battle is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to a sprained left ankle, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle is in serious danger of missing consecutive outings due to the issue. His expected absence doesn't appear to free up very much playing time in the rotation, though it's possible Ochai Agbaji will see just enough minutes to warrant deep-league streaming consideration.
Dec 7, 2025
Won't play Sunday
Battle (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Battle sprained his left ankle in Friday's loss to the Hornets and won't suit up Sunday. His next opportunity to play will come in Tuesday's NBA Cup matchup against the Knicks. Gradey Dick could see a slight bump in minutes with Battle sidelined.
Dec 6, 2025
Doubtful for Sunday
Battle (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle injured his ankle Friday and it looks like he'll be watching from the sidelines Sunday night. Jonathan Mogbo and Garrett Temple figure to split most of Battle's minimal minutes.
Dec 5, 2025
Won't return Friday
Battle has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game against Charlotte due to a left ankle sprain, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle will finish the contest with three points (1-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes. Although there's only a handful of minutes remaining in the contest, his absence could open up more minutes for Gradey Dick and Garrett Temple. Battle's next chance to play will come Sunday against Boston.
Dec 2, 2025
Headed to bench
Battle will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Battle got a spot-start Sunday with Jakob Poeltl taking a rest day, but Poeltl is back and starting Tuesday, so Battle will return to a reserve role. As a reserve this season, Battle is averaging 3.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 6.9 minutes a night.
Nov 30, 2025
Plays just 11 minutes in start
Battle accumulated four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound across 11 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Battle made his first start of the season Sunday due to the absences of RJ Barrett (knee) and Jakob Poeltl (back). However, Battle's 11 minutes of playing time was lower than five Raptors bench players, and the second-year pro was limited to just four field-goal attempts in the blowout loss. Battle will likely revert to a bench role Tuesday against the Trail Blazers, assuming one or both of Poeltl and Barrett plays.
Nov 30, 2025
Starting against New York
Battle will start Sunday's game against the Knicks, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle will make his first start of the season due to Jakob Poeltl (back) being sidelined. Battle has struggled to crack the rotation this season, but he steps into a major opportunity Sunday. Over his last five appearances, he has seen just 5.8 minutes per game, averaging 2.2 points and 1.2 rebounds.
Nov 27, 2025
Back to NBA
Toronto recalled Battle from the G League's Raptors 905 on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Battle has been on the outside looking in for Toronto this season. Through 14 appearances, he's averaging 6.9 minutes per contest.
Nov 17, 2025
Active Monday
Battle (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Hornets, Coty Wiles of RaptorsRepublic.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle is active Monday after missing Saturday's game with a right knee contusion. The 24-year-old has averaged only 7.3 minutes across 10 appearances this season and has topped 10 minutes just three times, so his return is unlikely to impact the Raptors' rotation or elevate his fantasy relevance.
Nov 16, 2025
Listed questionable for Monday
Battle (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against Charlotte, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle is in jeopardy of missing his second game in a row with a knee contusion. He's been a fringe rotation player thus far, so his status doesn't carry a lot of fantasy implications.
Nov 15, 2025
Won't play Saturday
Battle (knee) won't play in Saturday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle is dealing with a right knee contusion and has been downgraded from questionable to out Saturday. The 24-year-old forward has averaged just 6.4 minutes per contest over his last five appearances, so his absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation. With Battle sidelined, Gradey Dick could see a slight bump in minutes.
Oct 31, 2025
Paces bench with 20 points
Battle tallied 20 points (7-7 FG, 6-6 3Pt), one rebound and one block over 15 minutes during the Raptors' 112-101 win over the Cavaliers on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Battle was a healthy scratch for each of the Raptors' two games prior to Friday's contest, but he was on the floor for a season-high 15 minutes and made the most of his opportunity. He was one of three Raptors players to score 20 points and was responsible for six of the team's 13 three-pointers while posting a game-high plus-28 point differential. Battle's performance Friday could help carve a consistent role for himself off the bench going into November.
Oct 25, 2025
Leads bench unit with nine points
Battle put up nine points (3-3 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two rebounds and a steal in 11 minutes during Friday's 122-116 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Battle led all bench players in scoring and made all three of his three-point attempts. While this type of production should not be expected, Battle has shown he has the ability to score given the opportunity, and may continue to see playing time while Collin Murray-Boyles (forearm) is out.
Apr 13, 2025
Scores season-high 25 points
Battle accumulated 25 points (9-19 FG, 7-15 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists over 42 minutes during Sunday's 125-118 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Battle saved his best performance for last, finishing Sunday's contest with a season-high 25 points which was second-most behind Scottie Barnes (35). Battle started in 10 of the Raptors' final 17 games of the regular season, and over that span he averaged 10.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists over 29.1 minutes per contest.
Apr 11, 2025
Enters starting five Friday
Battle is in the Raptors' starting lineup against the Mavericks on Friday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Friday marks the ninth time Battle will be in the Raptors' starting five this season. The 23-year-old forward out of Ohio State has averaged 9.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 27.5 minutes per game over his last 15 outings.
Apr 6, 2025
Retreats to bench Sunday
Battle won't start in Sunday's game against the Nets, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old forward will slide to the bench due to RJ Barrett (rest) returning to game action. Battle has averaged 9.3 points and 4.0 rebounds across 26.9 minutes per contest in his last 10 games (five starts).
Apr 4, 2025
Moving to starting role again
Battle is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pistons, Coty Wiles of RaptorsRepublic.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle has been alternating between the starting lineup and the bench in recent games, and this will be his eighth start since the beginning of March. He's averaging 8.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.6 steals per game in the previous seven.
Apr 3, 2025
Retreating to bench Thursday
Battle won't start in Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
RJ Barrett (rest) will return from a one-game absence Thursday, pushing Battle to the bench. The 23-year-old forward has carved out a significant role with Toronto of late, and over his last 10 outings (six starts), he has averaged 9.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 28.2 minutes per game.
Apr 1, 2025
Starting sans Barrett
Battle is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Chicago, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
With RJ Barrett getting the night off Tuesday, Battle will join the first unit. Battle is logging 31.0 minutes per game as a starter this year, but he's produced averages of just 9.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.5 steals over six games during this period.
Mar 31, 2025
Scores 16 points off bench
Battle had 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Sunday's 127-109 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
With the Raptors dialing back their key players, Battle could continue to see increased opportunity in the final couple weeks. Over his last seven appearances, Battle is trending up with 10.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.6 three-pointers on 36.4 percent shooting in 27.6 minutes per contest.
Mar 30, 2025
Retreating to bench Sunday
Battle won't start in Sunday's game against the 76ers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
RJ Barrett (rest) will return to game action Sunday, pushing Battle to the bench. Over his last five appearances (two starts), the 23-year-old forward has averaged 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 27.6 minutes per contest.
Mar 28, 2025
Starting sans Barrett
Battle is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Hornets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
RJ Barrett is getting the night off Friday, allowing Battle to join the first unit. Battle has averaged 10.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 2.8 three-pointers in 30.7 minutes across five games as a starter this season, so he hasn't seen a huge jump in fantasy appeal with the starting five.
Mar 24, 2025
Starting sans Barrett
Battle is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Washington, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle will join the first unit for the fifth time this season in the absence of the resting RJ Barrett on Monday. As a member of the first unit in 2024-25, Battle has averaged 10.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 2.8 three-pointers in 31.8 minutes.
Mar 20, 2025
Shifting to bench
Battle isn't starting Thursday's game against the Warriors, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle will rotate to a bench role after starting Toronto's last four matchups. He's averaging 8.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in his last five appearances off the bench.
Mar 18, 2025
Pops for 14 points in loss
Battle provided 14 points (5-14 FG, 4-12 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes during Monday's 129-89 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Battle scored 14 points, including four triples, the most he has scored since late November. Having been in and out of the rotation, it's fair to say it's been an underwhelming rookie season for Battle. Through 46 games played, he is averaging 6.1 points and 1.5 three-pointers in 14.7 minutes per game.
Mar 12, 2025
Scores 11 points in first NBA start
Battle contributed 11 points (4-15 FG, 3-12 3Pt), eight rebounds and one assist across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 118-105 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
With the Raptors dealing with a plethora of injuries, Battle was put in position to make the first start of his NBA career Wednesday. He wasn't efficient from the floor (especially from three-point range), but he managed to help on the boards with eight rebounds. Battle could remain in the starting five against the Pacers on Friday if the likes of Scottie Barnes (hand), Ochai Agbaji (ankle), RJ Barrett (personal) and Jonathan Mogbo (nose) remain out.
Mar 12, 2025
Making first career start
Battle is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old rookie will make his debut as a starter Wednesday while the Raptors deal with plenty of injuries. Battle will be flanked by Jared Rhoden, Jamal Shead, Colin Castleton and Jakob Poeltl in the first unit. He is averaging 9.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in his last three appearances.
Mar 12, 2025
Available to play Wednesday
Battle (nose) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle will suit up Wednesday and should see his regular workload off the bench. However, he's averaging 18.7 minutes per game since the All-Star break, so he shouldn't carry a ton of fantasy upside.
Mar 11, 2025
Iffy for Wednesday
Battle (nose) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle joins Agbaji (ankle) as frontcourt players with a questionable status for Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia. Toronto has had notable players in and out of the lineups for weeks, and if the rookie forward can't play, the team could lean heavily on Jared Rhoden to pick up the last like he has over the past few games.
Mar 10, 2025
Won't come back Monday
Battle won't return to Monday's game against the Wizards after re-aggravating a nasal fracture, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle, who broke his nose while playing in the G League on Feb. 26, left for the locker room in the first quarter. However, the 23-year-old forward was able to return for the second quarter before being shut down at halftime. He'll finish the game with five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), and three rebounds across 12 minutes. A.J. Lawson and Jared Rhoden will likely see a bump in playing time the rest of the way Monday.
Mar 10, 2025
Returns from locker room Monday
Battle (face) has returned to Monday's game against the Wizards for the start of the second quarter, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle appears to be fine after exiting to the locker room in the first quarter due to an apparent facial injury. The 23-year-old forward will likely be able to handle his normal workload the rest of the way. Battle, who broke his nose while playing in the G League on Feb. 26, has appeared in each of the Raptors' last two outings, amassing 22 points, nine rebounds and one block across 44 total minutes.
Mar 10, 2025
Heads to locker room Monday
Battle exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent facial injury in the first quarter of Monday's game against Washington, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle was seemingly hit in the face by an opposing player and exited to the locker room with 3:36 remaining in the opening quarter. A.J. Lawson and Jared Rhoden could see a slight bump in playing time if Battle is unable to return.
Mar 8, 2025
Puts up 11 points in return
Battle (nose) tallied 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 23 minutes in Friday's 118-109 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Battle initially fractured his nose in a Feb. 26 appearance for the G League's Raptors 905, resulting in him missing Toronto's subsequent three games. He was cleared to return to action for the 905 in Thursday's 120-117 loss to the College Park Skyhawks, finishing that game with 11 points, seven rebounds, two steals and one assist in 25 minutes. He was immediately recalled following that game and entered the Toronto rotation Friday while nine other players were ruled out for rest or injury. If the Raptors get multiple players back for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Battle could be at risk of falling out of the rotation.
Mar 6, 2025
Good to go Friday
The Raptors recalled Battle (nose) from the G League's Raptors 905 Thursday and he will be available for Friday's game versus the Jazz, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle has missed time due to a nasal fracture and was sent to the G League on Wednesday but has returned to the NBA and is good to go against Utah. With RJ Barrett (rest) and Ochai Agbaji (ankle) out, Battle could receive increased playing time.
Mar 5, 2025
Heading to G League
The Raptors assigned Battle to the G League's Raptors 905 on Wednesday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Since being recalled from the G League last Thursday, Battle has proceeded to miss the Raptors' last three games while recovering from a nasal fracture. His assignment to the G League likely suggests that Battle will take part in practice, which could mean that the rookie forward is back in action for Toronto's next game Friday versus the Jazz.
Mar 3, 2025
Another absence coming
Battle (nasal fracture) will not play Tuesday against the Magic, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle suffered a nasal fracture Wednesday during a stint in the G League, and it's unclear just how long he'll be sidelined for. His next chance to play comes Friday against Utah.
Mar 1, 2025
Won't play vs. Orlando
Battle (nose) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle suffered a nasal fracture Wednesday during a stint in the G League, which has ruled him out for Sunday's game in Orlando. Toronto will thin in the frontcourt with Ochai Agbaji (ankle) set to sit out this game against the Magic, with RJ Barrett, Gradey Dick and Jonathan Mogbo likely getting more minutes.
Feb 27, 2025
Out with nasal fracture
Battle (nose) will not play Friday versus Chicago due to a nasal fracture, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle was recalled from the Raptor's G League affiliate team Thursday, but will not play due to his injury. He was likely called up due to Scottie Barnes (hip) also potentially missing time, but Battle will not suit up Friday. Battle's next chance to play for Toronto will be Sunday against the Magic.
Feb 27, 2025
Recalled to NBA
Toronto recalled Battle from the G League's Raptors 905 on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Battle has been doing double duty quite often during the 2024-25 campaign, playing 12 games for the 905 and making 39 appearances for Toronto. After being recalled by the parent club Thursday, the 23-year-old forward will get another opportunity to prove his worth. He's averaging 5.5 points and 1.8 rebounds across 12.6 minutes per game on the NBA level this season.
Feb 13, 2025
Heats up off bench
Battle put up 14 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 11 minutes of action during the 131-108 loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie wing had his second-highest scoring game as a pro despite the loss, perhaps proving to the Raptors they made the right choice in promoting him from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract last week. Despite the solid outing, Battle should remain a non-factor in most fantasy leagues due to his lack of volume. He'll also be one of the main victims once Brandon Ingram officially joins the lineup, although it appears that could be quite a ways off at this point. Battle's next chance to take the court comes Friday against the Heat.
Feb 7, 2025
Converted to standard deal Friday
The Raptors converted Battle's two-way contract into a three-year standard deal Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle has seen the majority of his playing time at the G League level of late, though he has shown enough flashes to latch onto the club via a three-year deal. The undrafted rookie out of Ohio State has appeared in 35 regular-season outings with Toronto, averaging 5.4 points and 1.8 rebounds across 12.6 minutes per contest. He is also shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from beyond the arc while averaging 3.1 three-point attempts per game.
Feb 6, 2025
Back in rotation Wednesday
Battle closed with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 138-107 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Battle suited up for the first time in eight games, playing at least 10 minutes for the first time in over a month. Although he was a consistent part of the rotation to begin the season, his role has dwindled of late, to the point where he is rarely seen outside of G League appearances.
Jan 1, 2025
Three-point threat for Toronto
Battle posted nine points (3-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 125-71 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Battle continues to be a consistent threat for the Raptors from beyond the arc. The undrafted rookie forward is shooting an impressive 43.1 percent from deep this season on 3.4 attempts per game, making him a valuable asset off the bench.
Dec 19, 2024
Left off injury report
Battle (ankle) will be active for Thursday's game against Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Battle suffered a sprained ankle while playing in the G League last week but has been given the green light to suit up Thursday for Toronto. With Bruce Brown (knee) out and Scottie Barnes (ankle) questionable, Battle could see a sizeable role off the bench against the Nets.
Dec 16, 2024
Out Monday with ankle sprain
Battle (ankle) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
The two-way player presumably sprained his left ankle Friday, when he played 23 minutes in the G League Raptors 905's 132-109 loss to the Delaware Blue Coats. Though Battle is now back with the parent club, he'll be sidelined Monday as the Raptors kick off a three-game week. Battle had been part of the rotation in Toronto's last game Thursday in Miami, but he could find minutes more difficult to come by once the Raptors get Scottie Barnes (ankle), Bruce Brown (knee) and Immanuel Quickley (elbow) back from injuries.
Dec 15, 2024
Dealing with ankle sprain
Battle won't play in Sunday in the G League Raptors 905's game against the Maine Celtics due to a left ankle sprain, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle has played double-digit minutes at the NBA level in eight of Toronto's last 10 games, but the two-way player may have hurt his ankle at some point during Thursday's 114-104 loss to the Heat. The Raptors haven't provided word on the severity of the ankle sprain, but Battle will also remain out for the NBA club's next game against the Bulls on Monday.
Nov 28, 2024
Huge night off bench
Battle registered 24 points (9-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 119-93 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The undrafted rookie took advantage of the absence of Gradey Dick (calf) from the lineup, erupting for career-best offensive numbers. In fact, Battle hadn't even scored in double digits or drained more than three three-pointers in a game prior to Wednesday. The Raptors could give the Ohio State product a look in the starting lineup if he continues to thrive when given the chance.
Nov 26, 2024
Plays well with nine points
Battle chipped in nine points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 102-100 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Battle saw his largest workload of the campaign with Gradey Dick (calf) on the shelf, and he made the most of his minutes. He had a very limited role prior to Monday, but he's shown some nice flashes during his rookie campaign. Through 17 games, he's shooting a respectable 38.5 percent from beyond the arc.
Oct 27, 2024
Plays 19 minutes in loss
Battle finished with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 19 minutes during Saturday's 112-101 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
With RJ Barrett (shoulder), Immanuel Quickley (pelvis), Kelly Olynyk (back), Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) and Bruce Brown (knee) all sidelined to start the season, Battle has found himself with a consistent role in Toronto's rotation. He's played at least 15 minutes in all three games thus far, totaling 27 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and a block.
Oct 19, 2024
Inks two-way deal
The Raptors signed Battle to a two-way contract Saturday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Battle averaged 15.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 31.4 minutes across 35 appearances for Ohio State in 2023-24 before going undrafted in the 2024 NBA Draft. As a two-way player, he will split time this season between the NBA and G League.
