Misses practice Tuesday
Olynyk missed Toronto's final three preseason games and it sounds like he's doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. With Olynyk likely to be sidelined, it's possible that Chris Boucher (knee) will get some reps as the backup center behind Jakob Poeltl.

Remains out indefinitely
Brown is recovering from an arthroscopic right knee surgery he underwent at the end of September. He's due for a re-evaluation soon, but it sounds like he'll miss at least the first week of the regular season. With RJ Barrett (shoulder) and Kelly Olynyk (back) also nursing injuries, there'll be plenty of minutes available for Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji.

Likely to sit out Wednesday
Barrett has yet to be cleared for contact, but he's been able to go through practices in limited fashion. With Barrett expected to be sidelined for Opening Night, it's possible that Ochai Agbaji steps into a significant role on the wings. Further clarity will be known when the Raptors release their injury report Tuesday evening.

Earns final spot on roster
The Raptors claimed Fernando off waivers in July after he was let go by the Hawks. The 2019 second-round pick averaged 15.2 minutes per game across 45 regular-season contests last year, and while he's buried on the Raptors' depth chart, Fernando could see some playing time early on during the 2024-25 regular season if Kelly Olynyk (back) and Chris Boucher (knee) were to be sidelined.

Out at least another week
Walter participated in some parts of Monday's practice but still has multiple hurdles to clear before returning to game action. The rookie missed the entire preseason schedule due to the shoulder injury, so even when he's cleared to suit up, Walter likely won't factor into Toronto's early-season rotation.
