Toronto, Ontario (My Sportsbook) - Toronto Raptors center Mamadou N'diaye will be sidelined four weeks with a stress fracture in his right heel, further complicating the team's injury problems. The seven-foot N'diaye, who missed the final 26 games of last season with the same injury, is averaging 5.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in six games this season. The Raptors are already without star forward Vince Carter, who has a strained left quadriceps tendon, and bench players Lamond Murray, Eric Montross and Nate Huffman. Antonio Davis and Jelani McCoy, who have both missed time this season due to injury, will return to the lineup Friday night when the Raptors take on the Denver Nuggets. Toronto has struggled to a 3-4 record so far this season.
