Scottie Barnes scored a career high 41 points on 34 shots and got 3 free throws as the Raptors lost 121 to 114 to the Magic, and Darko called it BS. Orlando shot 29 free throws to Toronto's 15, and the Raptors were called for 33 fouls to the Magic's 21. Ben Rogers breaks down how rare a 41 point night with 3 free throws is, why Darko spoke out, what got him fined $25,000 the last time, what Desmond Bane and Franz Wagner did to Toronto, and the good news in the loss: Jakob Poeltl's bounce back, Immanuel Quickley's clean game and Collin Murray-Boyles. Ben Rogers breaks it all down. Let me know in the comments: what lost this game? Comment REFS or BANE.

Raptors vs Magic NBA Cup preview: Scottie Barnes and Toronto host Orlando 2 nights after a 129-99 blowout, with Kawhi Leonard and Paolo Banchero out. The Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic open Emirates NBA Cup group play in East Group A, with Detroit, Milwaukee and Brooklyn. Wednesday's 30 point win was a regular season game, so none of it counts toward the Cup tiebreakers. Head to head and point differential decide the group, and last year Toronto went 4-0 in the group before losing the quarterfinal to the Knicks. Kawhi Leonard is out with knee swelling (the team says at least a week, Chris Haynes reported 3 to 4 weeks), and Ja'Kobe Walter starts again. Orlando is without Paolo Banchero, Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Isaac, Noah Penda and Izaiyah Nelson. We break down the 20 Magic turnovers, Scottie Barnes guarding Franz Wagner, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, Desmond Bane's plan to fix it, Jakob Poeltl's foul trouble and our Raptors vs Magic prediction. --- Raptors Digest is a YouTube Channel that covers all the latest news, trades, reports, and rumours regarding the Toronto Raptors.

The Toronto Raptors have been linked to Kyrie Irving trade rumours for months, and now Shams Charania has revealed what the Mavericks are offering for a Kyrie Irving trade. Ben Rogers breaks down this development and when you combine that with the latest reports coming out regarding players like Ty Jerome, Jordan Poole, Herb Jones and others, it has become clear what the Raptors need to do. --- Raptors Digest is a YouTube Channel that covers all the latest news, trades, reports, and rumours regarding the Toronto Raptors.

Toronto Raptors centre Jakob Poeltl is averaging 2.8 points a game, and Darko Rajakovic just called himself a "big Jak believer." Here's why that should worry you. Jakob Poeltl was the centre the Toronto Raptors couldn't live without. They went 4-28 without him in 2023-24, then he had the best season of his career in 2024-25 (14.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 62.7% from the field) and Bobby Webster gave him a 4-year, $104 million extension. Four games into 2026-27, he has 11 points, 15 fouls and fewer minutes than Trayce Jackson-Davis, the third-string centre Toronto got for a second-round pick. Ben Rogers breaks down what NBA teams usually mean when they say they believe in a player (DeMarcus Cousins, DeMar DeRozan, Jimmy Butler, Brandon Ingram, Jaylen Brown), how Poeltl became so important to the Raptors, how far he has fallen, and whether Trayce Jackson-Davis should take his minutes. Who would you rather see start for the Raptors next game: Trayce Jackson-Davis or Jakob Poeltl?

Should the Toronto Raptors trade for Karl-Anthony Towns? The Sporting News just predicted the Raptors trade for the Knicks' $220 million big man, and the KAT to Toronto trade ideas are everywhere. On the court, Towns fits: the Raptors got outrebounded 49 to 34 by the Minnesota Timberwolves, Jakob Poeltl is down to 5.3 rebounds a game, and Towns brings 21 points and 12 rebounds a game plus floor spacing next to Scottie Barnes. Ben Rogers breaks it all down. But every Karl-Anthony Towns trade package falls apart. The Raptors are hard capped at the first apron after the Kawhi Leonard trade, with $963,598 of room. The New York Knicks are under the second apron and can't take back more salary than they send. That leaves a $1 million trade window. I break down every version of the Raptors Knicks trade: Scottie Barnes for Towns, RJ Barrett, Jakob Poeltl and Ja'Kobe Walter, Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett, and the only legal deal, which costs Ja'Kobe Walter and Allen Graves. Then the Raptors' 2027-28 bill, Towns' $61 million player option and his extension standoff with the Knicks, and my verdict on whether Bobby Webster and the Raptors should make the trade before the February trade deadline.

Toronto Raptors star Kawhi Leonard will miss weeks with swelling in his left knee after an MRI showed no structural damage, and the Raptors say he will be re-evaluated in 1 week. Shams Charania reports Kawhi is expected to miss "a period of weeks", while Michael Grange says at minimum he misses both home games against the Orlando Magic and the back to back in LA, including his first game against the LA Clippers since the trade. We break down what the injury update really says, why the Raptors are ramping him up slowly after the 76 day trade delay, what Kawhi gave Toronto in his first 2 games, and who has to step up: Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Ja'Kobe Walter, Collin Murray-Boyles and Jakob Poeltl.

Raptors fans want Chris Boucher back in Toronto after the Raptors' 117-94 loss to the Timberwolves, and Kawhi Leonard's left knee is being tested. Chris Boucher posted one shrug emoji after the game, and Raptors fans flooded his replies asking for a reunion. We look at his Raptors career (a 2019 champion, 7th in franchise history in blocks with 384, G League MVP and Defensive Player of the Year with the Raptors 905), whether he would actually help this roster, and why the Raptors' hard cap at the first apron blocks a signing right now. Then the date when a Chris Boucher return becomes possible, and the latest on Kawhi Leonard's left knee swelling before Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Ben Rogers breaks it all down.

The Toronto Raptors are hard capped and less than $1 million under the first apron, so the next player who helps Kawhi Leonard and this roster comes from Raptors 905.

Scottie Barnes went 0 for 12 and Jakob Poeltl didn't score as the Toronto Raptors lost 117 to 94 to the Minnesota Timberwolves without Kawhi Leonard. Ben Rogers breaks down the 5 things this Raptors team has to fix: Scottie settling for jumpers instead of attacking the rim (9 of his 12 shots came from 11 feet or farther, with 0 free throws), a team that shot 10 for 38 from three, Rudy Gobert winning the glass, a 35 to 15 third quarter, and why rookie Allen Graves has earned more minutes.

Both teams are 2 and 0.

The Toronto Raptors dodged 2 bullets: Gary Trent Jr.'s $64 million Bucks deal is under NBA investigation, and RJ Barrett is thriving after a summer of trade talks. Trent walked from Toronto in 2024 after the Raptors were reportedly open to about $15 million a season. Now Milwaukee has him on a fully guaranteed 4-year, $64 million contract that the league is investigating for possible salary cap circumvention, and he hasn't played a minute in the Bucks' first 2 games. Ben Rogers breaks down what Brian Windhorst has said about the probe, what the NBA did to the Clippers, why RJ Barrett's start has flipped the trade conversation (HoopsHype's Global Rating has him 12th in the NBA), and the Raptors defense led by Collin Murray-Boyles.

The Toronto Raptors are reportedly considering Rob Dillingham for their last two-way contract, and his camp is open to it. Their first targets are gone: Dalton Knecht signed with the Knicks, Sean Pedulla with the Kings and Micah Peavy with OKC. Ben Rogers breaks down how the race for the last two-way spot got here, Dillingham's rollercoaster story, the 2024 No. 8 pick Toronto gave up in the Jakob Poeltl trade (the pick Dillingham went with), how he'd fit this roster, and the other options still out there, led by Blake Hinson.

The Toronto Raptors beat the Washington Wizards 112 to 102 and are 2-0, and they still haven't trailed this season. Scottie Barnes settled for jumpers in the first half, then took over: 28 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, with 11 in the 4th quarter alone, something he did once all of last season. Ben Rogers breaks down how Scottie adjusted mid-game, Kawhi Leonard's 2 minutes that sealed it, why the Raptors are a different team with Collin Murray-Boyles on the floor, how Jakob Poeltl shut down Anthony Davis, and a whistle that sent Washington to the line 35 times.

The last time Kawhi Leonard played in Washington in a Raptors jersey, he scored 41 points in a double overtime win. On Friday he goes back, and this is not the Wizards team that won 17 games last season. Washington now has Anthony Davis and Trae Young, the No. 1 pick in AJ Dybantsa, and it just came from behind to beat the Bucks by 12. Ben Rogers breaks down the injury report on both sides, how the Wizards rebuilt in one year, the 3 numbers that decide this game, 2 Raptors to watch, and his prediction.

The Raptors beat the Bulls by 43 on opening night, and in the 24 hours since, the noise around this team got loud. A Kyrie Irving rumour has the Raptors' name in it again, Kawhi Leonard explained the video he made for Raptors fans, Josh Giddey revealed a wrist injury after going 1 for 10 in Toronto, Gradey Dick had a big first night with the Clippers, and the Wizards will be without AJ Dybantsa on Friday.

The Toronto Raptors left their last two-way spot open on purpose, and now Jake Fischer reports they're in on three players: Dalton Knecht, the former Lakers first round pick who tied the NBA rookie record with 9 threes in a game; Sean Pedulla, the G League Rookie of the Year; and Micah Peavy, a defensive wing just cut by Memphis. Hard-capped at the first apron, this is the only signing Toronto can make right now, and only three teams in the NBA have an open two-way spot. Ben Rogers breaks down all three, how each would fit, and which one fixes the problem the Raptors showed on opening night. Let me know in the comments: Knecht, Pedulla or Peavy.

Kawhi Leonard is back, and the Toronto Raptors opened the 2026-27 season by beating the Chicago Bulls 135 to 92. The Bulls never led. It's the biggest opening night win in Raptors history. Ben Rogers breaks down Kawhi's return (a line only John Stockton has matched since 1996), a big four that each scored 20 without playing 30 minutes, Caleb Wilson's rough debut, how the preview played out, and the one thing that should worry Raptors fans.

It's been 2,752 days since Kawhi Leonard played a regular-season game for the Toronto Raptors. Tonight that ends. The Raptors open the 2026-27 season at Scotiabank Arena against the Chicago Bulls, and Chicago is built to attack the one thing Toronto does better than anyone: punish teams that play fast. Ben Rogers breaks down what it cost to bring Kawhi home, what to expect from his minutes, Norman Powell's return in a Bulls jersey, No. 4 pick Caleb Wilson's debut, the matchup that decides the game, and his prediction.

Darko Rajakovic just told us he's counting on Allen Graves going into the season, after the rookie shot 5 for 20 in the preseason. And that wasn't the only move the Raptors made on the eve of the opener. Collin Murray-Boyles and Ja'Kobe Walter just had their 2027-28 options picked up, Nate Bittle is the only name on the injury report, and Raptors 905 paid two first round picks (G League picks) to bring back 7'5" shot blocker Jamarion Sharp. Then there's Brian Windhorst picking the Celtics to win the Atlantic because of their depth. Is Toronto's depth good enough to prove him wrong? Ben Rogers breaks it all down.

The Toronto Raptors have never had the national media talk about them like this... An ESPN analyst picking Toronto to make the Finals. NBA GMs ranking Scottie Barnes the second most versatile player in the league. Three Raptors in Bleacher Report's top 16 defenders. Kevin Garnett, John Wall and Brian Windhorst all buying in.

The Toronto Raptors left their final two-way spot open on purpose, and the Dallas Mavericks may be about to cut Moussa Cisse, a 24-year-old shot-blocking center. The man making that call is former Raptors president Masai Ujiri, who hired Bobby Webster as his first hire in Toronto. In this video, Ben Rogers breaks down the roster crunch in Dallas (16 players for 15 spots, with Dwight Powell on a non-guaranteed deal), the loophole that means Dallas can't bring Cisse back on a two-way deal but Toronto can, and why the Raptors can't claim him off waivers under the hard cap. I also cover who Cisse is, how he'd fit next to Poeltl, Murray-Boyles, and Jackson-Davis with Nate Bittle in a walking boot, and why the Masai-Webster connection makes this so interesting.

The Toronto Raptors just made their final roster calls before opening night, and they weren't what most people expected. Nimari Burnett, Tyreke Key, Jamarion Sharp, Tyson Degenhart and Jalen Celestine were all waived. Nate Bittle got a two-way contract without playing a single minute of camp or preseason. And Toronto left its last two-way spot wide open on purpose. In this video, Ben Rogers breaks down why the cuts happened on October 17th, why the Raptors bet on a seven-footer still in a walking boot, and how the hard cap from the Kawhi Leonard trade is behind every move. With $963,598 of room under the first apron, Toronto can't even sign a rookie to the 15th spot. That makes the open two-way the most important seat on the roster heading into Wednesday's opener against Chicago. Who should get that last two-way spot?

Trayce Jackson-Davis just made a HUGE statement for the Toronto Raptors against the Detroit Pistons in their 2026 preseason finale! Jackson-Davis exploded for 23 points and went a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line as Toronto's bench and third-stringers pushed Detroit's starters in a 129-125 thriller. Alijah Martin looked fantastic, Malachi Smith led the Raptors with 24 points, and Allen Graves showed flashes of serious upside while also drawing mixed reviews. We break down both teams' box scores, every Raptors player's stats, and what these performances mean heading into the 2026-27 NBA season.

The Toronto Raptors have been mocked to trade RJ Barrett 1000 times over the past year. The numbers say they're wrong. Bleacher Report floated a deal sending RJ to Detroit for Ron Holland and picks, and the "smart" take is that Toronto should cash out before his contract runs out. So I pulled the cap sheet, the shooting splits and the advanced numbers people use to make that case. Here's why trading RJ in Kawhi Leonard's window would be one of the worst moves this front office could make. Would you trade RJ for Holland and picks? Let me know in the comments.

Scottie Barnes, Kawhi Leonard and Collin Murray-Boyles may have just revealed something SPECIAL for the Toronto Raptors against the New York Knicks. According to Matt Devlin, the trio outscored New York 21-7 in just 6 minutes and 23 seconds together, finishing +14 while holding the Knicks to 2-for-9 shooting. The defensive potential is ridiculous, Scottie's offensive game continues to develop, and CMB is looking like a massive X-factor. However, the Raptors were also exposed in the paint by New York's big men, raising some serious questions about their frontcourt.

Everyone on the Toronto Raptors including Darko Rajaković, Collin Murray-Boyles, Quickley and Kawhi are all saying the same thing this season: shoot more threes. But should the Raptors actually do it? Toronto shot a better percentage from three than Cleveland in the playoffs and still got outscored by 57 points from behind the arc. No team in the NBA got more wide-open threes last season than the Raptors, and that might be the scariest stat on this roster. In this video we break down where the three-point revolution came from, why not all threes are created equal, what Cleveland had that Toronto didn't, and how Kawhi Leonard changes everything. More threes can make this team a real problem in the East. The wrong threes could waste the first season of the Kawhi era. How many threes a game should the Raptors take?
