Raptors' Jordan Nwora: Not mentioned on injury report
Jordan Nwora (undisclosed) isn't listed on Toronto's injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Nets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.Nwora suffered an unspecified injury during the final minutes of Tuesday's loss to the Pacers, but it appears it was a minor issue. Nwora could be in store for elevated usage Wednesday, as RJ Barrett (knee) and Kelly Olynyk (rest) are out, while Gary Trent (back), Bruce Brown (knee) and Gradey Dick (groin) are all questionable.

Raptors' Jordan Nwora: Suffers apparent injury Tuesday
Jordan Nwora appeared to suffer an unspecified injury late in Tuesday's 140-123 loss to the Pacers and didn't check back into the game after departing with 1:55 remaining in the fourth quarter, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.Murphy noted that Nwora was limping to the locker room, so the fourth-year forward is presumably tending to some sort of lower-body injury. Tuesday's game was the front end of a back-to-back set for Toronto, so clarity on Nwora's status for Wednesday's matchup with the Nets may not arrive until shortly before the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. After being held out of the rotation in the Toronto Raptors' 130-122 loss to the Wizards on Sunday, Nwora played 19 minutes in Tuesday's contest and finished with 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal.

Raptors' Jordan Nwora: Records double-double from bench
Jordan Nwora closed with 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds and five assists over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 133-85 loss to the Timberwolves.The Toronto Raptors' rash of absences allowed Nwora to log 30 minutes off the bench, and he played most of the second half in the blowout loss. Toronto's horrific 15-game losing streak has put the the playoffs well out of reach, so we may see more of Nwora down the stretch as the team explores the depth chart in preparation for next season.

Raptors' Jordan Nwora: Goes for 18 points off bench
Jordan Nwora provided 18 points (7-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Sunday's 111-96 loss to the Magic.Nwora has found a way to make an impact for the Toronto Raptors with his scoring ability despite coming off the bench. He's scored in double digits in four of his last five appearances despite not logging more than 25 minutes in any of those contests. While he can be a serviceable streaming option in most formats, the inconsistency of his role, and his own inconsistencies as a scorer, limit his overall upside.

Raptors' Jordan Nwora: Scores 14 off bench vs. Magic
Jordan Nwora had 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one block and two steals across 16 minutes during Friday's 113-103 loss to the Magic.Nwora continues to see more playing time off the bench in March with injuries to Scottie Barnes (hand) and Chris Boucher (knee). Nwora has scored in double digits in three of his last four games and is shooting 50.0 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from three on 4.3 3PA/G over that span. Nwora should see extended minutes in the immediate future with RJ Barrett away from the team due to personal reasons.

Raptors' Jordan Nwora: Struggles in extended playing time
Jordan Nwora accumulated nine points (4-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 139-98 loss to the Pelicans.Nwora's 20 minutes of game time Tuesday was due to both the blowout loss and starter Ochai Agbaji leaving the game due to left knee soreness. Nwora's 15 shot attempts were his most since Jan. 28, and the 2022 first-round pick could be given an extended look off the bench if Agbaji were to miss additional time.
