Boucher finished Sunday's 125-98 preseason win over the Wizards with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one block across 18 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher was one of seven Raptors players to score in double digits Sunday, with five of those members of the second unit. He saw his playing time dip during the 2023-24 campaign compared to previous seasons, but the 31-year-old Boucher is looking to make a larger impact off the bench for the upcoming year.

Boucher (knee) has done a lot of work this offseason to ensure his mind is in the right place to start the 2024-25 campaign, Michael Grange of sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher was reportedly upset with his role last season, averaging just 6.4 points and 4.1 rebounds in 14.1 minutes across 50 appearances, all of which were coming off the bench. While Boucher isn't necessarily slated for an increased role in 2024-25, it seems as though the 31-year-old big man is more willing to accept a depth role.

Boucher (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Heat, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher last played March 9, when he recorded 16 points and eight rebounds across 31 minutes in a road loss to the Trail Blazers. The big man missed Toronto's final 18 contests, and he finished the campaign with averages of 6.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game across 50 appearances off the bench. From a statistical perspective, this was Boucher's worst year since the 2018-19 campaign, his second season in the NBA.

Boucher (knee) will not play against the Nets on Wednesday, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

No surprise here, as Boucher is considered out indefinitely after suffering a partial MCL tear in his right knee in early March.

Boucher (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers and remains out indefinitely, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher suffered a partial MCL tear in his right knee in early March and doesn't have a return timetable. It wouldn't be surprising if Boucher misses the rest of the 2023-24 regular season.

Boucher has suffered a partial MCL tear in his right knee and will undergo further testing in the coming days, Kayla Grey of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher is expected to recover without requiring surgery, but more light will be shed on the severity of his injury following testing. Boucher may be dealing with a minor tear, and even if his recovery could be quickened by opting for the surgical path, his decision to heal naturally would be unsurprising in the context of Toronto's 23-41 record and 12th-place standing in the Eastern Conference. The 31-year-old is coming off back-to-back double-digit scoring performances, but he has struggled to produce consistent output even after Precious Achiuwa was traded to New York in February.

Boucher (knee) will not play in Monday's game versus Denver, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Raptors are expected to be very shorthanded Monday, as Boucher joins Gary Trent (groin) and Immanuel Quickley (hip) on the sidelines. Kelly Olynyk will likely play significant minutes, while Jalen McDaniels could step into a larger role as well.

Boucher is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Denver due to a bruised right knee.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher has stepped up over the last two games with Toronto missing key pieces in Scottie Barnes (hand) and Jakob Poeltl (finger), but he could be in danger of missing the first of the Raptors' four games in the week ahead. If Boucher is cleared to play, he should make for a relatively appealing streaming option given that he's totaled 27 points, 17 rebounds, four assists and three blocks over his last two games (55 total minutes). Keep an eye out for an update at shootaround Monday morning.

Boucher finished Saturday's 128-118 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers with 16 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 31 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher provided much-needed size and agility to the interior during the loss. Recently, he has played well off the bench during Scottie Barnes' (hand) absence, but Boucher has also dealt with his own injuries, minimizing what would have otherwise been golden opportunities with Barnes and Jakob Poeltl (finger) absent. Considering his average of 27.5 minutes over the past two games, Boucher's increased usage should continue if he can stay healthy.

Boucher (illness) is available for Friday's game versus the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Boucher has been upgraded from questionable to available despite dealing with an illness. However, the 30-year-old forward has been largely left out of Toronto's rotation.
