Raptors' Otto Porter: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Porter has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the 76ers due to return-to-competition conditioning, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
Porter played 16 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Bucks and tallied six points, three rebounds, an assist and a block. He dealt with a toe injury during the preseason, and the Raptors will be cautious with him in the second half of a back-to-back set Thursday. It wouldn't be surprising to see him return to action Sunday against the Spurs, but his absence shouldn't significantly impact the Raptors' rotation.

Raptors' Otto Porter: Full participant at practice
Rotowire
Porter (toe) was a full participant in the Raptors' first training camp practice Tuesday, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Porter appeared in just eight games for Toronto last season, battling a hamstring injury at the onset of the season followed by a dislocated toe in November which ultimately cost him the remainder of the campaign. The 30-year-old could be a valuable floor spacer for the Raptors, but his lack of durability and self-creation limits his fantasy value.

Raptors' Otto Porter: Out for season
Rotowire
The Raptors announced Tuesday that Porter underwent season-ending surgery on his left foot, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Porter has been sidelined since Nov. 14 with a dislocated second toe on his foot, and with the veteran forward having failed to respond to rest and rehab has hoped, he went under the knife to address the injury. The 29-year-old is without a precise timeline to resume full basketball activities, but his recovery will at least stretch into the summer since the Raptors are ruling him out for the season. Porter holds a $6.3 million player option for the 2023-24 campaign, which he'll most likely exercise, given his current circumstances.

Raptors' Otto Porter: Remains out indefinitely

Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said Tuesday that Porter isn't making any progress from a dislocated second toe on his right foot, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
On Dec. 13, Grange reported that Porter was likely to miss another month, but Nurse's comments three weeks later suggest that the veteran forward's timeline has been pushed back even further.

Raptors' Otto Porter: Out for at least another month
Rotowire
Porter, who hasn't appeared in a game since Nov. 14 due to a toe injury, is out for at least another month, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Porter recently visited with a specialist and will be re-evaluated in about a month. The veteran forward has appeared in only eight games this season, so his prolonged absence shouldn't have a major impact on Toronto's rotation, though Juancho Hernangomez (ankle) figures to garner a solid reserve role as long as Porter remains sidelined.
