Fernando is not in the Raptors' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Bulls, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Fernando was a late addition to the Raptors' starting lineup Thursday due to Jakob Poeltl dealing with back spasms. However, Poeltl ended up playing in that game and played 27 minutes off the bench while Fernando was limited to just two minutes of playing time. Fernando likely won't see much playing time off Toronto's bench behind Poeltl and Kelly Olynyk.

Bruno Fernando Latest News
Returning to bench Monday
Fernando is not in the Raptors' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Bulls, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Fernando was a late addition to the Raptors' starting lineup Thursday due to Jakob Poeltl dealing with back spasms. However, Poeltl ended up playing in that game and played 27 minutes off the bench while Fernando was limited to just two minutes of playing time. Fernando likely won't see much playing time off Toronto's bench behind Poeltl and Kelly Olynyk.
Late addition to lineup
Fernando will start over Jakob Poeltl (back spasms) in Thursday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Poeltl was a late scratch and has been downgraded to doubtful, meaning his chances of seeing the floor Thursday are very slim. Fernando should see plenty of minutes at center, with Chris Boucher also expected to see an expanded role off the bench.
Won't start Saturday
Fernando is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Fernando will return to his regular bench role after making a spot start against the Thunder on Dec. 5, notching four points, seven rebounds, two blocks, an assist and a steal across 19 minutes in a 129-92 loss. With Poeltl available and ready to handle his regular workload, Fernando isn't expected to see significant minutes off the bench against Dallas.
Getting chance with starters
Fernando will start Thursday night's game against the Thunder, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports. Fernando is in line for an opportunity at center after news broke that Jakob Poeltl (illness) wouldn't suit up. This marks Fernando's first start of the 2024-25 campaign, and he should shoulder a heavier workload after averaging only 8.6 minutes through his first 14 appearances of the season.
Strong play off bench
Fernando racked up nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 14 minutes during Monday's 102-100 loss to the Pistons. Fernando set season-best marks in points and assists, doing all his damage in just 14 minutes. He's had a very quiet season so far, but he could become an intriguing streamer if Jakob Poeltl misses time at any point this season.
Available Sunday
Fernando (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports. Fernando missed the last two games due to a right ankle sprain, but he will return to action Sunday. His availability figures to have a limited impact on the rotation as he has averaged just 9.1 minutes per contest in 11 appearances this season.
Questionable for Sunday
Fernando (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Cavaliers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Fernando is in danger of missing his third straight contest Sunday due to a sprained left ankle. The 26-year-old big man is averaging 3.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 9.1 minutes across his 11 appearances this season.
Won't play Thursday
Fernando (ankle) will not play Thursday against Minnesota. Fernando will miss his second game in a row. He's been a fringe rotation player for the Raptors, so his absence won't carry many fantasy implications.
Out for Monday
Fernando (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports. Fernando sustained a right ankle sprain in the second quarter of Saturday's loss to Boston, though he was able to play through the injury. The 26-year-old big man's next chance to suit up will come Thursday against the Timberwolves.
