Michael Grange: My understanding is Chomche — who did not take part in training camp & whose condition was not updated by Raps will have to be evaluated by the league’s fitness-to-play panel in order to return to action. Similar to process Christian Kokoko went through a couple of years back.

Michael Scotto: Just In: The Toronto Raptors plan to waive AJ Lawson, David Roddy, Jared Rhoden, Olivier Sarr, and two-way player Ulrich Chomche, league sources told @hoopshype .

Michael Grange: Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic says Jakob Poeltl will miss the first pre-season game vs. Denver tonight (sore back). No news on Ulrich Chomche, who missed training camp with undisclosed injury. He is being evaluated. Otherwise Raps good to go, plan is to play ‘a lot of guys.’

Josh Lewenberg: Jonathan Mogbo is back for the Raptors’ semifinals game vs Sacramento today. AJ Lawson (Bilateral Hip Adductor Strain) is out. Chomche replaces Castleton in the starting lineup, with Shead, Walter, Battle and Murray-Boyles.

Khaman Maluach wouldn’t reveal which teams he’d interviewed with, and the Raptors weren’t either. But some league sources I spoke with have suggested Maluach is high on their radar, while others with knowledge of the Raptors' thinking push back on the idea. But the Raptors don’t have to look far for a character reference, as Maluach played with Ulrich Chomche for three years at the Basketball Africa Academy.
