With Brandon Ingram (ankle) expected to be ready for the start of 2025-26, however, Agbaji figures to open next year as a reserve while also sitting behind Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett on the depth chart at forward.

Agbaji (ankle) chipped in 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Sunday's 105-102 loss to Portland.

Agbaji ended up providing the Raptors with an unexpected offensive lift, with his 19-point effort representing his best output since Dec. 19. from a seven-game absence and posted an impressive stat line as a starter. Barrett could be back for the Raptors' next game Monday in Phoenix, but Agbaji may fill the other starting role on the wing over Jamison Battle while Gradey Dick (knee) and Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) are facing uncertain timelines for returns.
