Toronto's Jonas Valanciunas played fourteen games before getting sidelined by injury during a November victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Valanciunas, 23, is playing in his fourth NBA season. He averages a career-high 12.5 points per game as well as a career-high 8.9 rebounds per game over 26.9 minutes. During his first game back after missing 17 games with an injury, he played 20:55 minutes and scored just 9 points. 

He also added 4 rebounds with 2 blocks, 1 assist and 0 steals in the effort. But he didn't seem impressed with his own performance.

"I got to adjust to the game speed," said Valanciunas, on the official Raptors Twitter account.
