MIAMI -- Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas is day-to-day after spraining his right ankle in the third quarter of Toronto's 95-91 Game 3 win over the Heat on Saturday afternoon.
Valanciunas suffered the injury contesting Heat guard Dwyane Wade's layup attempt at the rim and was ruled out for the rest of the game.
Valanciunas stayed down after falling awkwardly before getting up and limping to the locker room. The team initially said he would not need X-rays, but then Valanciunas did undergo precautionary X-rays, which were negative.
Valanciunas had 16 points and 12 rebounds at the time of the injury for his fourth straight double-double of the playoffs.
The Heat also lost their starting center for the rest of the game as Hassan Whiteside injured his right knee in the second quarter.
