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.
He averaged 3.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game last season.
