Toronto Raptors centre Christian Koloko is out indefinitely as he continues to deal with ongoing respiratory issues.

The team made the announcement less than an hour before their season-opening media day began.

Koloko will not participate in the Raptors training camp in Vancouver.

The 23-year-old Koloko missed summer league play with the same condition.

Koloko was selected by Toronto in the second round, 33rd overall, of the 2022 NBA draft.
