Jonas Valanciunas: Available to play Sunday
Valanciunas (hand) is available to play in Sunday's matchup with the Magic, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.
Analysis:
Valanciunas had been sidelined the previous three games with a bruised hand, but was actually active in the team's most recent game Friday against the Celtics, though he failed to see the court. It sounds like Valanciunas will actually pick up some minutes in this one, but it's not clear if he'll start nor if he'll see a full workload. That being said, it shouldn't be long before Valanciunas does slot back into the starting five, resulting in Bismack Biyombo moving back to the bench.
