The Toronto Raptors could be down two bench pieces against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday (Sportsnet ONE, 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT).
Wing Ochai Agbaji is out while forward Sandro Mamukelashvili is questionable, the team said.
Agbaji, 25, is dealing with lower back spasms. In nine games this season, he is averaging just 2.7 points per contest while struggling from three-point range at an 8.3-per-cent clip.
Mamukelashvili, meanwhile, is battling a neck contusion and stiffness. The 26-year-old Georgian has impressed in his first year with the Raptors, playing 10 games while averaging nine points, 3.4 rebounds and connecting on 58.2 per cent of field-goal attempts.
In Saturday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Mamukelashvili scored 10 points in just over 17 minutes, but was a minus-3 for the night.
Toronto landed the six-foot-11 big on a two-year deal this past off-season, adding size and depth to its rotation.
The Raptors sit eighth in the Eastern Conference at 5-5, while the Nets are 13th at 1-9.
