Ochai Agbaji's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Toronto Raptors forward Ochai Agbaji (hand) had to leave Wednesday's game against the Celtics with a right hand laceration, and he could be forced to miss Friday's game against the Bucks. Agbaji has averaged 28.5 minutes per game in his 39 games this season, producing 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 0.8 steals per game. He has been in a reduced role since the Raptors have gotten other key members of their rotation back, and if Agbaji is ultimately ruled out, there would be more minutes and usage in the second unit for Bruce Brown, Jamison Battle, and Chris Boucher.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Ochai Agbaji (hip) will return to action on Saturday against Detroit. He missed Thursday's meeting with Cleveland due to a hip issue and was also initially questionable for Saturday's game. However, Toronto has upgraded Agbaji from questionable to available. The 24-year-old has averaged 10.8 points and 3.8 rebounds across 29.5 minutes this season. He had a productive start to the campaign when the Raptors were battling injuries. Agbaji's numbers have dropped to 8.8 points and 2.5 rebounds this month with Toronto healthy, so he doesn't have much to offer fantasy managers.

Toronto Raptors forward Ochai Agbaji (hip) will not play on Thursday against the Cavaliers due to a left hip pointer injury that he suffered after just eight minutes against the Knicks on Wednesday. While Agbaji doesn't usually have high usage when Toronto is at full strength, he has played 29.3 minutes per game in his 37 contests this year. His absence opens up significant playing time, and Chris Boucher and Bruce Brown are the top candidates to get a chance to step up with Agbaji is out. Toronto's next game is scheduled for Saturday against the Pistons, but it's unclear if Agbaji will be ready to return for that contest or need longer to recover.
