Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas exited Wednesday's road matchup against the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena early in the second quarter after posting up All-Star forward Draymond Green.
The 26-year-old Lithuanian was ruled out for the remainder of the game with a dislocated left thumb after Green made a swipe at the ball down low.
