A big test comes against the Pistons, but the Raptors won&#8217;t be at full strength for the game. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6m\">Here&#8217;s a look at who is on the injury report.<\/p>\n<p>Immanuel Quickley<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01kn26y9ta44n2k9yzpz.jpg\" alt=\"Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley drives to the basket against Chicago Bulls guard Tre Jones\" title=\"Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley drives to the basket against Chicago Bulls guard Tre Jones\" width=\"4200\" height=\"2362\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"6z\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley drives to the basket against Chicago Bulls guard Tre Jones. | Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"73\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/raptors\/onsi\/news\/toronto-raptors-brandon-ingram-immanuel-quickley-injury-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Quickley has been out for just over a week<\/a> with a foot injury. He is reportedly dealing with plantar fasciitis, and that is not good at this point in the season. It remains to be seen whether Quickley will return to the court before the playoffs, which is not a good sign for the Raptors&#8217; playoff hopes. However, during this stretch, Scottie Barnes has stepped up as a facilitator, and he has double-digit assists in each of his last four games. <\/p>\n<p>Jamison Battle<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01kn26z6tffqy0fvpmyx.jpg\" alt=\"Toronto Raptors forward Jamison Battle motions to a teammate during a game against the Golden State Warriors\" title=\"Toronto Raptors forward Jamison Battle motions to a teammate during a game against the Golden State Warriors\" width=\"5357\" height=\"3013\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"7g\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Toronto Raptors forward Jamison Battle motions to a teammate during a game against the Golden State Warriors. | David Gonzales-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7k\">Jamison Battle has been dealing with an illness, and it cost him the last game against the Orlando Magic. It appears he is still sick with the team going to Detroit. The Raptors play again tomorrow against the Sacramento Kings, so the hope is that he will be ready for that game instead. <\/p>\n<p>RJ Barrett<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01kn2701ymz1c6mryyae.jpg\" alt=\"Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett moves the ball against Los Angeles Clippers guard Kris Dunn\" title=\"Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett moves the ball against Los Angeles Clippers guard Kris Dunn\" width=\"4557\" height=\"2563\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"7x\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett moves the ball against Los Angeles Clippers guard Kris Dunn. | Gary A.

He popped up on the injury report as a bit of a surprise ahead of the game against the Orlando Magic. He played well, scoring 24 points in 26 minutes of action, but his ailment is still something that the team needs to report. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"84\">It&#8217;s possible that the Raptors sit him on one half of the back-to-back, but he&#8217;s more likely to play on this half because of the quality of opponent in the Pistons as opposed to playing against the NBA-worst Kings.<\/p>\n<p>Brandon Ingram<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01kn2713e71cr81wgss3.jpg\" alt=\"Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram drives against New Orleans Pelicans guard Jeremiah Fears\" title=\"Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram drives against New Orleans Pelicans guard Jeremiah Fears\" width=\"2921\" height=\"1643\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"8h\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram drives against New Orleans Pelicans guard Jeremiah Fears. | Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8l\">Ingram was a last-minute scratch during the team&#8217;s game against the Utah Jazz with heel soreness and he also did not play in the win against the Magic.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8o\">Ingram&#8217;s health is incredibly important for the Raptors&#8217; ceiling in the playoffs, so keeping him on ice for now could be the smart thing to do. It&#8217;s a bit worrisome that this could turn into something more serious especially as the Raptors get deeper into the season, but the team needs to figure out the fine line and what needs to be crossed and what doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8r\">Ingram is considered &#8220;questionable&#8221; for the game against the Pistons.<\/p>\n<p>Collin Murray-Boyles<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01kn2727rgbcqdwhjacz.jpg\" alt=\"Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace dribbles against Toronto Raptors forward Collin Murray-Boyles\" title=\"Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace dribbles against Toronto Raptors forward Collin Murray-Boyles\" width=\"2919\" height=\"1641\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"94\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace dribbles against Toronto Raptors forward Collin Murray-Boyles. | Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-20\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"98\">Murray-Boyles missed a chunk of the season with a thumb sprain, but now his back is beginning to bother him. He missed the team&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/raptors\/onsi\/news\/toronto-raptors-make-history-rout-vs-magic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">last game against the Magic<\/a>, and there is potential for him to also miss the game against the Pistons. He is listed as questionable, and it remains to be seen if the team will play him in both nights of the back-to-back. <\/p>\n<p>Toronto Raptors vs. Detroit Pistons Game Details<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-22\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9e\">\u2022 Matchup: Toronto Raptors vs. Detroit Pistons<br \/>\u2022 Date: Tuesday, March 31<br \/>\u2022 Kickoff Time: 8:00 PM EST<br \/>\u2022 Location: Little Caesars Arena | Detroit, MI<\/p>\n<p>What channel is Pistons vs. Raptors on?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-24\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9k\">Pistons vs. Raptors will air on Sportsnet.<\/p>\n<p>How to stream Pistons vs. Raptors live<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-26\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9q\">Fans can stream the game live on:<br \/>\u2022 NBA App<br \/>\u2022 FuboTV (free trial available)<br \/>\u2022 Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV (subscription required)<\/p>\n<p>Radio and live audio<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-28\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9w\">\u2022 TSN 1050<br \/>\u2022 Sportsnet 590 The Fan<br \/>\u2022 SiriusXM NBA Radio<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-30\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a3\">Sign up for our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/raptors\/onsi\/newsletter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">free newsletter<\/a>, which will bring all Toronto Raptors On SI stories every weekday to your email.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Toronto Raptors are facing off against the first-place Detroit Pistons in a game that has very high&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":690098,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3773],"tags":[7,296,188,3860,6,297],"class_list":{"0":"post-690097","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-detroit-pistons","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-detroit","10":"tag-detroit-pistons","11":"tag-detroitpistons","12":"tag-nba","13":"tag-pistons"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116324573165941359","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690097","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=690097"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690097\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/690098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=690097"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=690097"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=690097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
