26-year old F/C Andrea Bargnani re-injured his calf, which caused him to miss six games earlier this year, and he is out indefinitely this time around. Bargnani has played in 13 games (all starts) for the Raptors so far this year and he is averaging 36.1 minutes, 23.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. The Raptors are only averaging 87.2 points per game so far this year and they are a terrible offensive team when he’s out of action. That being said, the Raptors need to be careful with Bargnani, because he is by far the best player on the team.

The Raptors’ offense has been pretty putrid while 26-year old center Andrea Bargnani has been out of action due to a calf strain. He has played in 11 games (all starts) for the Raptors so far this year and he is averaging 35.2 minutes, 22.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. The Raptors have decent players to replace Bargnani but they are banger types, that don’t have much of an offensive game. With that in mind, defenses have been ganging up on DeMar DeRozan.

The Raptors have lost 26-year old small forward Linas Kleiza for the remainder of the season as he underwent microfracture surgery yesterday. Kleiza played in 39 games (23 starts) for the Raptors this year and he averaged 26.5 minutes, 11.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. The Raptors are going to turn to 24-year old Sonny Weems at small forward the rest of the way. He has played in 31 games (21 starts) for the Raptors so far this year and he is averaging 27.0 minutes, 10.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. The Raptors think that Weems will at least do a good job offensively.

The Raptors will be without 28-year old SG/SF Leandro Barbosa for the next 1-2 weeks due to a strained right hamstring. Barbosa has played in 33 games (0 starts) for the Raptors so far this year and he is averaging 24.8 minutes, 13.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. This is going to hurt the Raptors quite a bit as Barbosa adds a lot of energy and offense off the bench.

The Raptors will be without starting power forward Reggie Evans indefinitely as he broke his right foot last night. Evans has played in 15 games (all starts) for the Raptors so far this year and he is averaging 27.3 minutes, 4.0 points, 12.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Evans is only shooting 36% from the floor this year but he still helps the offense with his rebounding. The Raptors need Amir Johnson to step up while Evans is out of action. The Raptors have Johnson a nice new contract so they need him to start earning the money. Johnson has played in 16 games (1 start) for the Raptors so far this year and he is averaging 9.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 1.1 blocked shots per game. Johnson is shooting 57.1% from the floor and 88.9% from the free throw line so the offense will likely be improved with him on the floor instead of Evans. Peja Stojakovic could also see more P.T. due to Evans’ injury. Stojakovic has played in 2 games (0 starts) for the Raptors since the deal with the Hornets and he is averaging 11.0 minutes, 10.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game.

UPDATE: (12/2/2010) - Reggie Evans is going to miss the next 8 weeks.
