Raptors’ season hits a strange new low as Jakob Poeltl gets dunked by his own teammate

The Miami Heat beat the Toronto Raptors 114-104 on Thursday night. With the loss, the Raptors fall to 7-19 on the season, one of the worst records in the NBA. Only one team in the entire NBA, the New Orleans Pelicans, has more losses so far this season.

To make matters worse, their best player, Scottie Barnes, suffered an ankle injury earlier this week that will keep him out for a while. extended period of time.

Even the team’s highlights have taken a dark turn. During the loss to the Heat, guard Ochai Agbaji drove down the lane for a ferocious dunk. Unfortunately, the other guy on the poster was his teammate Jakob Poeltl.

That’s unfortunate friendly fire. All Poeltl was trying to do was seal Bam Adebayo, one of the best defenders in the league, and he ended up becoming a misused dunk contest mainstay.
