Nogueira was a DNP - Coach's Decision in his return to the Raptors on Sunday.

Analysis:

Nogueira re-joined the roster from the team's D-League affiliate in time for Sunday afternoon's game, but a lack of practice time with the big club likely ensured that he didn't get on the court. There's no timetable yet for Jonas Valanciunas' return from a broken finger, but with the Raptors off until Wednesday, Nogueira has a better chance of working his way into the frontcourt rotation once Dwane Casey's been able to put him through his paces.
