Mickael Pietrus News: Pietrus returned to the Toronto lineup Monday night after missing one game with a knee injury. He scored nine points (3-of-13 FG, 1-of-7 3Pt, 2-of-4 FT) with three rebounds in 38 minutes in Toronto's loss to Portland.

It's interesting that Pietrus is playing such a prominent role for Toronto, a team that currently sits at 4-18. He's filling in until the Raptors can get Landry Fields (elbow) back, but we also wonder if rookie Terrence Ross (13 minutes Monday) might start getting a bigger share of the wing minutes.
