Raptors' Chris Boucher: Leads bench with 13 points
Boucher finished Sunday's 125-98 preseason win over the Wizards with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one block across 18 minutes.
Boucher was one of seven Raptors players to score in double digits Sunday, with five of those members of the second unit. He saw his playing time dip during the 2023-24 campaign compared to previous seasons, but the 31-year-old Boucher is looking to make a larger impact off the bench for the upcoming year.

Raptors' Chris Boucher: Improved mindset for 2024-25
Boucher (knee) has done a lot of work this offseason to ensure his mind is in the right place to start the 2024-25 campaign, Michael Grange of sportsnet.ca reports.
Boucher was reportedly upset with his role last season, averaging just 6.4 points and 4.1 rebounds in 14.1 minutes across 50 appearances, all of which were coming off the bench. While Boucher isn't necessarily slated for an increased role in 2024-25, it seems as though the 31-year-old big man is more willing to accept a depth role.

Raptors' Chris Boucher: Won't play Sunday
Boucher (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Heat, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
Boucher last played March 9, when he recorded 16 points and eight rebounds across 31 minutes in a road loss to the Trail Blazers. The big man missed Toronto's final 18 contests, and he finished the campaign with averages of 6.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game across 50 appearances off the bench. From a statistical perspective, this was Boucher's worst year since the 2018-19 campaign, his second season in the NBA.

Raptors' Chris Boucher: Remains out indefinitely
Boucher (knee) won't play Wednesday against the Nets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Boucher will miss his 16th consecutive game Wednesday while he continues to recover from the partial MCL tear in his right knee. The Raptors haven't indicated that Boucher has resumed on-court work, so he'll most likely miss the team's remaining two games of the season after Wednesday.

Boucher (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers and remains out indefinitely, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Boucher suffered a partial MCL tear in his right knee in early March and doesn't have a return timetable. It wouldn't be surprising if Boucher misses the rest of the 2023-24 regular season.

Raptors' Chris Boucher: Sustains MCL damage to knee
The Raptors announced Monday that Boucher suffered a partial MCL tear in his right knee in Saturday's 128-118 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers and will undergo further testing in the coming days, Kayla Grey of TSN reports. Boucdher is without a timeline for a return.
The Raptors initially listed Boucher as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Nuggets with a bruised right knee, but initial tests evidently revealed a more severe injury. Though Boucher is expected to recover from the knee issue without requiring surgery, even a minor tear would likely entail a multi-week rest-and-rehab period. Given that Toronto sits at 23-41 on the season entering Monday's contest, the team likely won't look to rush the 31-year-old back from the injury, so he could be at risk of missing the rest of the season. Boucher had recently resurfaced in the rotation and averaged 13.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 blocks in 27.5 minutes over the past two contests, but his upcoming absence likely paves the way for Jontay Porter to slot back in as the primary backup to starting center Kelly Olynyk.

Raptors' Chris Boucher: Out against Denver
Boucher (knee) won't play in Monday's game versus Denver, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The Raptors are expected to be shorthanded Monday, as Boucher joins Gary Trent (groin), Immanuel Quickley (hip), Jakob Poeltl (finger), Scottie Barnes (hand) and D.J. Carton (ankle) on the sideline. Kelly Olynyk will likely play significant minutes as Toronto's starting center, while two-way player Jontay Porter could reclaim a rotation spot as Olynyk's primary backup.

Raptors' Chris Boucher: Dealing with bruised knee
Boucher is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Denver due to a bruised right knee.
Boucher has stepped up over the last two games with Toronto missing key pieces in Scottie Barnes (hand) and Jakob Poeltl (finger), but he could be in danger of missing the first of the Raptors' four games in the week ahead. If Boucher is cleared to play, he should make for a relatively appealing streaming option given that he's totaled 27 points, 17 rebounds, four assists and three blocks over his last two games (55 total minutes). Keep an eye out for an update at the shootaround Monday morning.

Raptors' Chris Boucher: Logs 16 points from bench
Boucher finished Saturday's 128-118 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers with 16 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 31 minutes.
Boucher provided much-needed size and agility to the interior during the loss. Recently, he has played well off the bench during Scottie Barnes' (hand) absence, but Boucher has also dealt with his own injuries, minimizing what would have otherwise been golden opportunities with Barnes and Jakob Poeltl (finger) absent. Considering his average of 27.5 minutes over the past two games, Boucher's increased usage should continue if he can stay healthy.

Raptors' Chris Boucher: Won't play Wednesday
Boucher (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
