Downgraded to out
As expected, Quickley will miss a fourth straight game due to a pelvis injury he sustained during Toronto's regular-season opener. The Raptors announced Wednesday that Scottie Barnes is expected to miss at least three weeks after being diagnosed with an orbital fracture, so they'll need Quickely back in action as quickly as possible, with his next chance coming Friday against the Lakers. In Quickley's absence, Davion Mitchell should start at point guard again, but RJ Barrett will presumably run the offense.

Out at least three weeks
The three-week mark is merely a re-evaluation date for Barnes, so even if he's cleared to resume on-court work at some point in late November, he could require a ramp-up period before being deemed ready for game action. In Barnes' absence, Ochai Agbaji, Chris Boucher, Jonathan Mogbo and Jamison Battle could absorb some of the vacated minutes, while RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) and Gradey Dick could notice spikes in usage.

On assignment
Walter is presumably practicing with the 905 to start training camp, but the status of his shoulder injury remains unclear. Even with all of the injuries in Toronto already, Walter likely won't be part of the rotation when cleared to suit up, so he'll presumably spend most of his rookie season in the G League.
