Mavericks' Nerlens Noel: Out again Monday

Noel (knee) won't play Monday against the Raptors, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Noel was initially listed as questionable Monday as the Mavs hoped he'd be able to return, but with soreness in his left knee still persisting at morning shootaround, the big man will be held out for the third straight game. In his continued absence, expect both Salah Mejri and Dwight Powell to see increased minutes off the bench behind starting center Dirk Nowitzki. The team believes Noel will show enough improvement in time to suit up Wednesday against the Wizards.
