Cavaliers @ Raptors
Scotiabank Arena, Toronto, ON

Cleveland Cavaliers What To Watch:

When the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday for their season opener, injury concerns will be the main focus.

Max Strus will be sidelined for at least six weeks due to a sprained ankle, so the Cavaliers will attempt to cover for him.

RJ Barrett (shoulder) participated in non-contact workouts on Monday and Tuesday, but the Raptors designated him as out. Since the team's first preseason game on October 6, Barrett has been out.

Strus' absence takes a vital player out of Cleveland's starting lineup, which also features Jarrett Allen, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Darius Garland. Due to injury, the team only participated in 28 games together last season.

Toronto Raptors What To Watch:

Toronto has additional injury problems. The game will also be missed by Kelly Olynyk (back). After missing the last three preseason games, he did not participate in practice on Monday or Tuesday.

Despite practicing on Monday, Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) missed the preseason. According to coach Darko Rajakovic, this year's 19th overall draft choice is evaluated week-to-week. Immanuel Quickley, who missed the first four preseason games due to a sprained thumb, returned to action on Friday, and Bruce Brown, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery, has been practicing shooting drills.

Important Raptors players are making a comeback after suffering injuries that ended their 2023–24 campaign. Jakob Poeltl missed the final 21 games due to a fractured left pinky finger, and Scottie Barnes missed the final 22 games due to a fractured third metacarpal on his left hand.

Last season, Toronto used a franchise-high thirty players. Together, Barnes, Barrett, Poeltl, and Quickley played 14 games and finished 7-7.
