TORONTO -- Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas is out for Tuesday's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers and is doubtful for Game 2 with an ankle injury, coach Dwane Casey said Monday.
Valanciunas missed the final four games of the Raptors' second-round series win over the Miami Heat with the injury. Casey didn't give a timetable on Valanciunas' return but said he wasn't yet able to participate in basketball activities.
Valanciunas suffered the injury in the third quarter of Toronto's Game 3 win over the Heat while contesting guard Dwyane Wade's layup attempt at the rim.
