Hansbrough played 14 minutes off the bench Saturday, scoring four points (2-4 FG) with two rebounds.

Jonas Valanciunas was limited to just 17 minutes Saturday due to an ankle injury, and if he ends up missing any games Hansbrough would be the most likely candidate to move into the starting lineup. He wouldn't see a huge increase in minutes in that case, as Patrick Patterson would see the bulk of the available court time, but Hansbrough could see a small uptick in his fantasy value.

Hansbrough scored 10 points (5-8 FG) with six rebounds and a block in 20 minutes off the bench Sunday.

With the Raptors playing in the thin Denver air on the second night of a back-to-back, coach Dwane Casey leaned heavily on his bench and Hanbrough responded with a solid game. It's just the second time this season he's played 20 or more minutes, however, so don't expect a repeat performance any time soon.

Hansbrough (shoulder) was back in action after a five game absence Sunday, playing nine minutes off the bench.

He missed his only shot attempt, but did pull down three rebounds. Hansbrough will probably settle back into his usual 14-18 minute range soon enough, but don't expect much fantasy production from him.

Hansbrough has been dealing with soreness in his shoulder and has missed Toronto's past four games as a result. He will likely have to clear morning shootaround and pregame warmups before he's officially active for Friday's game.

Hansbrough (shoulder) won't play Wednesday, TSN 1050's Josh Lewenberg reports.

His shoulder is still sore, and his absence will allow for Patrick Patterson to continue to see solid run at the four and the five off the bench. Consider Hansbrough questionable for Friday's game against Dallas.

Hansbrough (shoulder) is still sore and will be a game-time decision Wednesday in Atlanta, TSN 1050's Josh Lewenberg reports.

Amir Johnson and Patrick Patterson have had a pretty even split of the power forward minutes recently, and Hansbrough's return would mean the Raptors could deploy a bigger lineup when Jonas Valanciunas is off the court.

Hansbrough (shoulder) will miss his third straight game Monday against the Suns, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.

Hansbrough took a hard fall while battling for a rebound against the Grizzlies on Wednesday, and he'll remain out with a shoulder injury. The Raptors have not offered anything in the way of a timetable, so consider Hansbrough day-to-day until further notice. The North Carolina product is averaging a career-low 3.4 points and 3.8 rebounds while shooting 43.5 percent from the field this season.

Hansbrough (shoulder) did not play Saturday.

Hansbrough has missed two games with a with a shoulder injury. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, but the Raptors also aren't comfortable playing him with it. The Raptors' next game is Monday, and it seems Hansbrough will be questionable for that game.

Hansbrough (shoulder) will not play Friday against the Bucks, the Toronto Sun reports.

Hansbrough was a part of a collision with Chicago's Joakim Noah on Thursday, so that was most likely the cause of the shoulder injury. He won't be able to play Friday, and consider him highly questionable for Toronto's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.

Hansbrough suffered a lower back contusion in Thursday's loss to the Bulls, the reports.

Hansbrough was reportedly available to return to the game but never did falling the collision with Chicago's Joacim Noah.

Jonas Valanciunas (hand) is expected back for Friday's game, so look for Hansbrough to return to his bench role.

Hansbrough will start at center Wednesday.

Jonas Valanciunas (hand/nose) won't play Wednesday, and apparently coach Dwane Casey didn't feel comfortable starting any of his backup centers, so the undersized Hansbrough will get the nod, making him an intriguing value play in daily leagues.

Hansbrough scored 12 points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3P, 8-10 FT) with seven rebounds in 27 minutes off the bench Tuesday.

Amir Johnson missed his second straight game due to an ankle injury and Jonas Valanciunas left the court on two different occasions Tuesday due to hand and face injuries, which opened up plenty of time for the abrasive forward. Hansbrough's efforts to add a three-point shot to his arsenal haven't yet paid dividends, but with the Raptors' starting front court both now banged up he should see an increase in his minutes in the short term.

Hansbrough played 24 minutes off the bench Sunday with Amir Johnson (ankle) sidelined, making his only field goal attempt and pulling down six rebounds.

It wasn't a great stat line for Hansbrough, but Patrick Patterson was completely invisible as the Raptors' starting power forward so if Johnson misses any more games, Hansbrough could get a shot in the starting five.

Hansbrough, who spent the offseason working on adding a three-point shot to his game, played 22 minutes off the bench Tuesday and scored five points (2-7 FG, 1-2 3P, 0-2 FT) with five rebounds.

He's now two-for-three from beyond the arc through two preseason games. Much like Amir Johnson a couple of seasons ago, Hansbrough's efforts from three point range are little more than a novelty at this point and he won't get many opportunities to showcase his extended range during the regular season, but they could eventually pay some fantasy dividends if he keeps working at it.

The Raptors have picked up the team option on Tyler Hansbrough.

It's just $3.3 million and it won't hurt their cap space much. Hansbrough was a mild letdown with the Raptors last season and the acquisition of Patrick Patterson hurt his playing time. He won't have much fantasy value next season in the last year of his deal with the team.

Tyler Hansbrough will move back to the bench against the Thunder on Friday.

He had a solid seven-point, 13-board game on Wednesday while Jonas Valanciunas was on the mend, but JV is back tonight. Hansbrough doesn't offer enough upside to be used while the Raptors have a healthy frontcourt.

Tyler Hansbrough drew a start against the Pelicans on Wednesday, scoring seven points with 13 boards and one turnover in 36 minutes.

Jonas Valanciunas (back) did not play for the first time this season and it allowed Hansbrough to log the most minutes in his time with the Raptors. Valanciunas probably isn't going to miss much more time and was playing well, so this was more of a spot-start for Psycho T. Even if he does start again on Friday, he doesn't offer much upside.

Tyler Hansbrough will start in place of Jonas Valanciunas on Wednesday vs. the Pelicans.

He and the Raptors got very luck with Anthony Davis not playing tonight. Hansbrough's numbers haven't really been there and he figures to split some added run with Chuck Hayes. He's a flier in deeper leagues tonight with little long term value.
