Doug Smith: I don’t know if it will happen but I do know there is mutual interest between Antetokounmpo and the Raptors. The wild card is the cost. But I also think the Raptors are uniquely placed to make an attractive offer that won’t ruin their franchise or roster. I would make the case that a logjam at the wings makes them deep enough that if they had to pay even two out of Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji, Ja’Kobe Walter, RJ Barrett, Jonathan Mogbo would still leave enough to fill out a pretty good team with promising young players still developing. Plus, they have all their picks, so giving a first-rounder every year for, say, four years, leaves enough.
Michael Granger: Raptors sweep season series vs. Sixers in with 127-109 win. RJ Barrett with 31-5-5. Ja’Kobe Walter with 17-8-4 and 3/5 on 3s; Jamison Battle with 16 and 7, with 4/8 from 3. Fellow rookies Jonathan Mogbo (13) and Jamal Shead (11) give Raptors four rookies in double figures for first time in franchise history.
Josh Lewenberg: The Raptors are resting Jakob Poeltl vs Washington tomorrow. Dick, Agbaji, Walter, Mogbo and Ingram remain out.
Josh Lewenberg: Agbaji (ankle) is out of his walking boot and will start increasing his work but still not practicing. Mogbo has a nasal fracture. Out for at least a week and will wear a mask when he returns. Gradey Dick out at least 2 weeks. Battle (broken nose) and Temple (personal) are back
Cody Taylor: Jonathan Mogbo (facial; contusion) will not return to the game tonight, the Raptors said. He took an inadvertent hit by Paolo Banchero earlier.

But as far how this started, Shead claims he has no idea. He saw Temple dancing and decided to join him, and the rest of the rookies followed. “He was just dancin’, and I started grooving and J-Mo (Mogbo) was behind me and started groovin’ and JB (Battle) was behind him and started groovin’ and so on and so forth,” is Shead’s version. “I’ve seen some video, I think it’s pretty cool.” Said Walter: “Temp and Jamal were pretty hyped, so since we’re young guys we just followed along.”
Blake Murphy: Gradey Dick (neck) and Jonathan Mogbo (ankle) are probable for Tuesday vs Philly. Barrett, Ingram, Poeltl, Tucker remain out. Lawson with 905. Chomche up with NBA club.
Josh Lewenberg: Ochai Agbaji is questionable for tomorrow's game in Atlanta. Quickley remains out. Mogbo and the 2-ways are on G League assignment.
Eric Koreen: Ochai Agbaji is questionable for tomorrow with a right hand laceration, Immanuel Quickley is out with a hip strain. Chomche, Lawson, Mogbo, Omoyuyi and WALTER with 905.
Josh Lewenberg: Immanuel Quickley has been ruled out for tomorrow’s game vs Boston. Ja’Kobe Walter is on assignment with the 905, joining Mogbo, Omoruyi, Lawson and Chomche. Battle back with the Raps.

Michael Grange: Eugene Omoruyi and Jonathan Mogbo have been recalled from 905 by the Raptors. Monday vs. Warriors could be Omoruyi’s Raptors debut.
Blake Murphy: Ochai Agbaji (hip) is doubtful Saturday. Mogbo, Omoruyi, and the 2-ways will be with Raptors 905 for a Fri/Sat back-to-back in Maine.
Eric Koreen: Barrett remains questionable for Raps vs. Orlando tomorrow. Battle, Chomche, Lawson and Mogbo on assignment with Raptors 905. If Barrett plays, it will be the first time all year the Raptors have had every player healthy enough to play.
