Jakob Pöltl misses another game: Raptors lose against Celtics!

Toronto, Kanada - Jakob Pöltl's injury series in the NBA continues. The Vienna Center of the Toronto Raptors was again not in the contingent on Tuesday (local time) due to a hip bruise and thus also missed the game against the Boston Celtics, which already means the eighth game in a row without him. The raptors had to give up the defending champions with 101: 111, which is another problem for coach Darko Rajakovic, since he has no adequate replacement for Pöltl. The best throwers at Toronto were RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes with 22 or 21 points, while Jaylen Brown took the lead with 24 points for Boston, who led the Celtics to their sixth victory in a row, as the Krone reports.

In addition, Toronto will play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, where the Raptors hope to improve their performance and finally get the first victory since Pöltl's injury. In the meantime, the Cleveland Cavaliers, with their impressive 122: 82 victory over the Orlando Magic, make their eighth victory in a row, which ensures that the space at the top of the league ensures them. Ty Jerome was the outstanding player of this game, such as Yahoo Sports after scoring 20 points and thus for the first quarter in the first quarter 34:16 contrib.

The persistent injuries to Pöltl raise questions about the future planning of the raptors, while the Cavaliers further expand their dominance this season. The raptors have to start quickly if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
