Toronto Raptors center Lucas Nogueira (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.
Nogueira has missed eight straight games, but he is reportedly getting close to a return. Jakob Poeltl and Pascal Siakam will continue to soak up his minutes on Wednesday.
Over 17 games, Nogueira is averaging 3.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks over 12.0 minutes per game in 2017-18.
