Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Poeltl will sit out the Raptors' preseason opener due to lower-back stiffness that flared up after Sunday's practice. His absence should create additional opportunities for second-year forward Jonathan Mogbo and veteran Sandro Mamukelashvili.
