TORONTO -- Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey sounded more optimistic than he has recently that center Jonas Valanciunas could make his return for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals Monday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Valanciunas was listed as doubtful Sunday but went through shootaround Monday morning, and Casey said "we'll see" when asked about his availability. The center has been out with a sprained right ankle since he injured it in Game 3 of the second round.
Valanciunas would provide the Raptors with a much-needed scoring presence on the interior.
