Battle recorded 20 points (7-19 FG, 4-15 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 37 minutes Sunday in the G League Raptors 905's 119-114 loss to the Westchester Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Battle has scored in double figures in all three of his G League appearances this season, but he hasn't been particularly efficient. He's averaging 16.3 points per game while shooting 41.5 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from deep. He's likely to see more opportunities in the G League moving forward, as Toronto has gotten healthier of late and has less of a need for Battle in its rotation. Before playing a season-low four minutes for Toronto in Saturday's 125-118 loss to Dallas, Battle played double-digit minutes at the NBA level in six straight games and in 19 of Toronto's first 22 contests.
