Valanciunas sat out Wednesday's Eurobasket game against Estonia with an illness, the Eurobasket official site reports.

Analysis:

Valanciunas should be fine in short order, but where the biggest question mark truly lies with the big man is in his role with the Raptors this season. Coach Dwane Casey barely played Valanciunas in fourth quarters last season because he didn't trust the center to matchup well with the smaller lineups other teams were running, and if Casey follows that train of thought again this season, Valanciunas could end up playing limited minutes once again.
