Bruno Fernando Out for Raptors with Toe Inflammation
Bruno Fernando, center for the Toronto Raptors, is out due to left foot great toe inflammation. This injury means he will not play for the team. The issue started on December 28, 2024, and has been affecting his ability to participate in games.
What It Means
This injury impacts both Fernando and the Raptors. Fernando has averaged 3.6 points per game and 3.1 rebounds this season. His shooting percentage is at 54.2%. Although his minutes are limited, he contributes when on the court.
The Raptors will need to adjust their lineup without him. Jakob Poeltl and Kelly Olynyk are likely to see more playing time as a result. Poeltl averages 15.5 points per game, making him a strong option at center during Fernando’s absence.
