Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Efficient output off bench in loss
Rotowire
Murray-Boyles contributed 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes during Friday's 121-114 loss to Orlando.
Murray-Boyles continues to make the most of his opportunities off the bench, and Friday was no different, as he produced a season-high mark in scoring while also notching his second straight game with double-digit points. Murray-Boyles should continue to play off the bench behind Jakob Poeltl, and while that limits his upside on paper, he's still averaging 8.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in just 19.0 minutes per contest.

Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Hits pair of triples
Rotowire
Murray-Boyles chipped in 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes during Wednesday's 129-99 victory over the Magic.
Murray-Boyles provided an efficient offensive spark, connecting on two three-pointers while reaching double figures despite limited playing time. However, foul trouble restricted his involvement, as the second-year forward committed five personal fouls in just 15 minutes. His developing perimeter shooting is encouraging, but he will need a more consistent workload to become a dependable fantasy contributor.

Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Logs three steals against Washington
Rotowire
Murray-Boyles posted eight points (3-6 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three steals in 18 minutes during Friday's 112-102 win over the Wizards.
Murray-Boyles led the Raptors' bench in scoring Friday, and his three steals were tied with Kawhi Leonard for most on the team. Even though he's operating in a bench role, Murray-Boyles' versatility on defense and ability to switch matchups while playing alongside Leonard and Scottie Barnes will afford the second-year big man plenty of playing time. There's a scenario where Murray-Boyles enters the starting lineup this season in games when Jakob Poeltl is not available.

Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Stuffs stat sheet in opener
Rotowire
Murray-Boyles racked up six points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 135-92 win over the Bulls.
The second-year forward finished the 43-point victory as Toronto's leading rebounder despite coming off the bench. Jakob Poeltl tallied three points, six boards, one steal and one block as the starting center in 22 minutes, and it appears their playing time could be close to a 50-50 split, depending on the matchup.

Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Team option exercised
Rotowire
The Raptors exercised their third-year team option on Murray-Boyles' contract Tuesday, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
Murray-Boyles is coming off a productive rookie campaign, averaging 8.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.8 combined steals-plus-blocks in 21.9 minutes per game across 57 regular-season appearances (22 starts). The 2025 No. 9 overall pick is set to play a sizable role as one of the first men of Toronto's bench in 2026-27, and he'll likely step into the starting lineup if Kawhi Leonard or Jakob Poeltl miss time.

Murray-Boyles (rest) is expected to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bulls.
Murray-Boyles got the night off Friday, though he should be back in action when the Raptors host the Bulls.

Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Nudges double-double in win
Rotowire
Murray-Boyles compiled 19 points (7-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 148-98 preseason win over New York.
Murray-Boyles put together another impressive performance, continuing what has been a strong preseason. Despite the fact that he is likely to assume a bench role come opening night, Murray-Boyles is seen as a potential breakout candidate this season. He should serve as the primary sixth man on most nights, but there could certainly be situations in which he is inserted into the starting lineup. Anyone considering him in drafts will have to do so in the eighth or ninth round.

Murray-Boyles will miss all the Raptors' Las Vegas Summer League games due to a sprained finger. The 21-year-old big man was productive on both ends of the floor in his rookie campaign, and he figures to continue seeing meaningful playing time in 2026-27.

Murray-Boyles posted 14 points (7-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists across 20 minutes during Saturday's 126-113 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Murray-Boyles led the reserve unit by scoring 14 points off an efficient 7-for-8 tally from the field. If Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) remains sidelined for Game 2 on Monday, Murray-Boyles should continue to see additional action while potentially receiving more opportunities on the offensive end.

Murray-Boyles (neck) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Murray-Boyles posted 17 points (7-7 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 22 minutes in Thursday's 128-114 victory over Miami, but he'll take a seat for the second half of Toronto's back-to-back set. In his absence, Sandro Mamukelashvili should see a few more minutes behind Jakob Poeltl.

Rotowire
Murray-Boyles (quadriceps) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against Miami.
Murray-Boyles was initially listed as questionable due to a left quadriceps contusion, though he's trending in the right direction ahead of tipoff at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Murray-Boyles (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
The right quadriceps contusion is a new concern for the rookie first-rounder, who has appeared in each of Toronto's last four games. With Sandro Mamukelashvili (knee) also questionable, the Raptors could be shorthanded in the frontcourt Tuesday. If Murray-Boyles or Mamukelashvili is ruled out, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Jonathan Mogbo and Jamison Battle would be candidates to see increased minutes.
Murray-Boyles ended Wednesday's 123-115 loss to the Kings with 20 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes.
Murray-Boyles had established a previous career-high scoring mark of 19 points in a loss to the Spurs on Oct. 27, and while he surpassed that Wednesday, his efforts didn't carry the Raptors to a victory. Even though Murray-Boyles is known for his defensive contributions, he can embrace a bigger role on offense if needed. This was the sixth time he scored at least 15 points this season, although this was the first time he reached that plateau since the All-Star break.

Murray-Boyles (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Five swats in return
Rotowire
Murray-Boyles (thumb) registered nine points (3-5 FG, 3-5 FT), five blocks, four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes Monday in the Raptors' 143-127 win over the Jazz.
Suiting up for the first time since Feb. 25 following an 11-game absence due to a left thumb sprain, Murray-Boyles came through with a magnificent line for fantasy managers who streamed him for defensive stats. With averages of 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals in 22.1 minutes per game on the season, Murray-Boyles has shown he can be an asset in those two categories when given meaningful run, but it's difficult to envision his minutes picking up much from here. Even with Jakob Poeltl (back) sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back set, Sandro Mamukelashvili still started at center over Murray-Boyles and played 32 minutes, and backup big man Jamison Battle (23 minutes) also saw extended run. Murray-Boyles' outlook won't improve if Poeltl is ready to play in the Raptors' next game Wednesday versus the Clippers.
