Toronto Raptors shooting guard Terrence Ross will not play Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder on account of a sprained right index finger, the team announced.

Ross sustained the injury during practice. His absence will thrust deep bench reserve Norman Powell into a significant role as the Raptors' first wing off the pine.

In addition to Ross, the Raptors also won't have Jonas Valanciunas in the lineup for a second-straight night. Valanciunas is dealing with a bruised knee but did manage to warm up on Wednesday before the game.

Rookie center Jakob Poeltl will pick up his second career start in relief of Valanciunas at center.
