Wild Raptors Return Incoming? – Latest Kawhi Leonard Injury Updates
Raptors fans want Chris Boucher back in Toronto after the Raptors’ 117-94 loss to the Timberwolves, and Kawhi Leonard’s left knee is being tested. Chris Boucher posted one shrug emoji after the game, and Raptors fans flooded his replies asking for a reunion. We look at his Raptors career (a 2019 champion, 7th in franchise history in blocks with 384, G League MVP and Defensive Player of the Year with the Raptors 905), whether he would actually help this roster, and why the Raptors’ hard cap at the first apron blocks a signing right now. Then the date when a Chris Boucher return becomes possible, and the latest on Kawhi Leonard’s left knee swelling before Wednesday’s game against the Orlando Magic. Ben Rogers breaks it all down.
Should the Raptors bring back Chris Boucher? Let us know in the comments.

Jacob will haunt this team
Tell Boucher that he needs to put on 10 lbs of muscle mass before he can come back to the team.
You've really leveled up the videos since I first started watching you. Great video and analysis
I would take him at centre of jak🤷♂️
Whenu give analysis pls always mention the weight n height ,
Kai Sotto , could be the one to replace or add to the raptors, young , 7’3” gained weight and muscles, fast and has high IQ in assists can shoot 3 pts, and good in shot blocking , and rim protection, offensive as in defensive
Bro please no
don't even go there!!!!
I so miss Chris Boucher. So many games he was a scoring spark plug off the bench.
Man, I remember during the pandemic when Boucher was a total bucket. He just couldn't miss and his shot was like a rainbow, but then something happened and his shot went laser flat and every shot pinged off the back of the net.
Boucher wouldn’t play. Like what are you talking about. Darko didn’t play him last time. If anything. If it’s rebounding you need just put in graves or TJD if Poetle is going to rebound like a 50 year old. Personally I’m so high on Nate bittle. I watched him in college and he is exactly what we need as a back up centre. Can do everything. Rebound, block shots, stretch the floor. But yak has to be better. Plain and simple.
Boucher would be an ok addition.
I would hope that they find a big better than him, even by trade.
Montreal has boroughs called Montreal Nord or North Montreal Est or East and Montreal Ouest or West, but not one called Montreal Sud. Now you know
B for Boucher
Bro he is not the answer
Hell no, he has no defense
we never should have let Chris Go ngl
Boucher's not gonna save us or make a difference. People may want to sign that petition out of nostalgia, but it's not what the Raptors need. I'd sooner bring back Ibaka to replace Poeltl.
Darko didn't like Boucher when he was younger so i don't expect to like the semi retired version of him.
Never will happen because Darko wouldn't play him , he doesn't believe in him !!
