Raptors and Celtics share lengthy injury reports for Sunday's game

The Toronto Raptors are still shorthanded.

RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Bruce Brown, Ja'Kobe Walter, Kelly Olynyk and Garrett Temple have all been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. It is the second preseason game in a row that Toronto will be without its six players.

It's unclear why Olynyk and Temple are sidelined, but it's likely just additional time off for two of the team's most experienced players. Quickley and Walter are expected to return relatively soon, while Barrett and Brown are a little further away.

The Celtics have opted to rest all of their star players since they rarely play back-to-back games in the preseason. Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Luke Kornet, Al Horford and Kristaps Porziņģis will all be sidelined against Toronto.

The Raptors plan to start in the same group as they did in Friday's preseason loss to the Washington Wizards. Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl are joined by Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji and Davion Mitchell. While Quickley isn't expected to miss any time in the regular season, if Barrett does, it appears Agbaji will slide into the starting unit to replace him.

Bruno Fernando should get another long look at the bench for Toronto as the Raptors look to solidify their bench rotation up front. Fernando is competing with guard Jahmi'us Ramsey for the last guaranteed contract of the season.

Toronto will return home after the game to face the Celtics on Tuesday in their only home game of this year's preseason.
