• Timberwolves vs. Raptors: Start time, where to watch, what's the latest

• Scottie Barnes Discusses New Goggles & Eye Injury As Return Nears for Raptors
  Scottie Barnes is ready to go. It's been three weeks since the Toronto Raptors All-Star suffered an orbital bone fracture in the final minutes of a loss to the Denver Nuggets late last month. Barnes was inadvertently elbowed in the right eye by Nikola Jokic and immediately fell to the ground clenching his face in pain. For a few days, Barnes said the pain was intense, but unlike his fractured hand last season or the ankle injuries he's suffered in years past, the 23-year-old has been able to stay in shape for the better part of the past few weeks.
• Steph cherishing two meaningful Warriors trips in ‘special' Year 16
  The Golden State Warriors already have played some of their most highly anticipated matchups of the 2024-25 NBA season, but two games stand out above all to Steph Curry in Year 16.
• Jamison Battle Carving Out Role for Young Raptors Team
  In the 2024 NBA Draft this past June, Jamison Battle did not hear his name called. In fact, the Toronto Raptors made four selections (Ja'Kobe Walter, Jonathan Mogbo, Jamal Shead, Ulrich Chomche) and Battle was not one of them. The undrafted rookie out of Ohio State signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Raptors allowing him to compete for a roster spot in training camp, but a spot is never guaranteed and it is usually a long shot to make the team.
• Raptors Mailbag: Future Title Hopes, Tanking Talk, & Expectations for Toronto
  The Toronto Raptors got back in the win column Monday night and now — for better or for worse — have climbed out from the very bottom of the NBA standings. There seems to be some excitement surrounding this team and it's clear the fanbase is ready to build toward an intriguing future potentially with another blue-chip prospect leading the way alongside Scottie Barnes. The Raptors have certainly been more competitive than I expected and way more fun than I would have thought before the season began. Toronto is probably too good when everyone is healthy to be among the league's very worst teams, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Raptors let up on the reins late in the year and try to slide down the lottery standings into a spot closer to the top of the draft.
• Former Knicks Teammate Explains How RJ Barrett Has Changed Since Joining the Raptors
  RJ Barrett has never lacked for confidence. Barrett is happy to. It's why he was so unfazed when a couple of his game-winning shots rimmed out for the Toronto Raptors earlier this month. “That's who RJ Barrett is,” he said after nearly draining a game-winning three-pointer against the Denver Nuggets earlier this month.

• Jakob Poeltl in midst of career-best season for beleaguered Toronto Raptors
  Poeltl had 30 points and 15 rebounds in Toronto's 130-119 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Monday to end the Raptors' seven-game losing skid. "It's a little bit of throwback to college times," said Poeltl, who averaged 17.2 points and 9.1 rebounds in his final season with the NCAA's Utah Utes.
