Valanciunas is nursing a sprained right thumb and is questionable to play Monday against the Nuggets, Raptors radio play-by-play announcer Eric Smith reports.
Analysis:
Valanciunas said his thumb was hit awkwardly in Saturday's game against the Pistons, but despite his questionable designation, the Raptors seem optimistic that he'll be able to suit up Monday. In the event the team opts to err on the side of caution and makes Valanciunas a late scratch, Bismack Biyombo would likely step in as the starter at center.
