Battle (ankle) recorded zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across five minutes in Thursday's 111-105 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Battle saw his first action since Dec. 5, after a left ankle sprain had kept him out for two games before he was cleared to play Monday. He ultimately went unused in a coach's decision in the Raptors' eventual 106-96 win over the Heat that day, but Battle was able to get some light run in the rotation Thursday while Toronto was without Jakob Poeltl (back) and RJ Barrett (knee). One or both of those players could be ready to play in the Raptors' next game Saturday versus the Celtics, so Battle may soon find himself back outside of the rotation.

Battle (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Heat, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Battle will shed his probable tag and return from a two-game absence due to a sprained left ankle. Over his last five appearances (one start), the 24-year-old forward has averaged 4.4 points and 2.0 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per tilt.

Battle (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against the Heat, Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Battle is on track to return from a two-game absence due to a sprained left ankle. The second-year wing has appeared in 17 games this season, averaging 3.9 points and 1.4 rebounds across 8.1 minutes.

Battle (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

No surprise here, as Battle was previously listed as doubtful for Tuesday's contest due to a sprained left ankle. With the 24-year-old forward hitting the sidelines for a second straight game, Ochai Agbaji and Gradey Dick are candidates for a slight uptick in minutes.

Battle is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to a sprained left ankle, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Battle is in serious danger of missing back-to-back outings due to the ankle issue. His expected absence doesn't appear to free up very much playing time in the rotation, though it's possible Ochai Agbaji will see just enough minutes to warrant deep-league streaming consideration.

Battle (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Battle sprained his left ankle in Friday's loss to the Hornets and won't suit up Sunday. His next opportunity to play will come in Tuesday's NBA Cup matchup against the Knicks. Gradey Dick could see a slight bump in minutes with Battle sidelined.

Battle (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Battle injured his ankle Friday and it looks like he'll be watching from the sidelines Sunday night. Jonathan Mogbo and Garrett Temple are candidates to split most of Battle's minimal minutes.

Battle has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game against Charlotte due to a left ankle sprain, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Battle will finish the contest with three points (1-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes. Although there's only a handful of minutes remaining in the contest, his absence could open up more minutes for Gradey Dick and Garrett Temple. Battle's next chance to play will come Sunday against Boston.

Battle will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Battle got a spot start Sunday with Jakob Poeltl taking a rest day, but Poeltl is back and starting Tuesday, so Battle will return to a reserve role. As a reserve this season, Battle is averaging 3.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 6.9 minutes a night.

Battle accumulated four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound across 11 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Battle made his first start of the season Sunday due to the absences of RJ Barrett (knee) and Jakob Poeltl (back). However, Battle's 11 minutes of playing time was lower than five Raptors bench players, and the second-year pro was limited to just four field-goal attempts in the blowout loss. Battle will likely revert to a bench role Tuesday against the Trail Blazers, assuming one or both of Poeltl and Barrett plays.
