Jonas Valanciunas scored five points on 50 percent shooting from the field and the line during the Raptors' 128-94 win over the Sixers on Saturday. Valanciunas added four boards in just 15 minutes before leaving the game with an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Valanciunas looked great in the season opener and picked up right where he left off on Saturday. Unfortunately for the Raptors and fantasy owners alike, Valanciunas went down with an ankle injury early on Saturday and did not return. The Lithuanian's limp didn't seem too bad postgame, but Toronto will get an MRI on that ankle nonetheless. If Valanciunas misses any time, it will be minimal unless he tweaks the injury by returning too early.
