Poeltl's status will be updated as needed, the team said.The news about Poeltl comes just a few days after the team said that Scottie Barnes had surgery to fix a broken left hand, which will probably end his season.

Because of the surgery, Poeltl will most likely be unable to return to action until the very end of the season, if he is able to return at all this year.

If the Raptors' defeat to the New Orleans Pelicans by a score of 139-98 on Tuesday is any sign of what is to come, then it is possible that they will have a difficult journey ahead of them.

Poeltl will be replaced by Kelly Olynyk, with Jontay Porter as a bench center. While neither can defend like Poeltl, they can space the floor better.
