Raptors' Lucas Nogueira: Ruled out Wednesday vs. Sixers

Nogueria is dealing with a sore right knee and has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Sixers.

This is the first we've heard of the injury, but considering it's just being listed as soreness, it doesn't appear to be a serious issue. He'll get the night off Wednesday, with his next opportunity to take the court on Friday against the Hawks. With Nogueira sidelined, look for the Raptors to rely heavily on Jonas Valanciunas as their starter, while Jakob Poeltl should see a bigger role off the bench as his backup.
