Jamison Battle practiced and will be available Oct. 15, Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said. Battle, Allen Graves and Kyle Anderson are in an open race for the 9th through 11th rotation spots, and Rajakovic said he is "not gonna shy away from throwing different guys in the fire."
Jamison Battle's return runs through the practice floor. Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic on Oct. 10: "His back is feeling better, but he's not ready to play. He just needs to go through practice and contact before he's available for the game."
Jamison Battle is "huge" for the Raptors' push for more threes, Darko Rajakovic said at practice, along with Kawhi Leonard and Allen Graves, who showed all summer he can shoot. He plans a 10-man rotation that "may end up being 9" or 11, with limited minutes for the 10th man.
