At least when Valanciunas is speaking with reporters he is also suiting up for games. Raptors centre Jonas Valanciunas dislocated his thumb against the Warriors on Dec. 12. He’s expected to be out until mid-February, but says he’s hopeful of an earlier return. “He’s been really good, he’s been here every day working, getting his conditioning in,” Powell said of Valanciunas. He believes Valanciunas is watching and learning, looking for things he can do better upon his return.
