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."

Kawhi Leonard and Kyle Anderson didn't play in the Raptors' first preseason game. "We watched a lot of film on him, and he's watched a lot of film on us and how he could be implemented into our offense," Collin Murray-Boyles said of Leonard at practice.
