Newsbreakers
February 5, 2010
According to the National Post, Hedo Turkoglu will have to wear a protective mask when he returns to action.

Our View:Turkoglu has already admitted that he hates wearing the mask, says it's uncomfortable and thinks it will affect his performance. He volunteered to sign a waiver that would absolve the Raptors of any blame if he didn't wear the mask during games, but the team doesn't seem to be on board. He is expected to play on Sunday, and it will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

Hedo Turkoglu is doubtful for tonight's game against the Nets, according to Matt Devlin's twitter page.

Our View:Turkoglu is dealing with a fractured orbital bone, and should be held out of fantasy lineups with him unlikely to go tonight.
February 2, 2010
Updating a previous report, Hedo Turkoglu (fractured orbital bone) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game and is not likely to play in Wednesday's game either, according to Eric Smith on Twitter.

Our View:Turkoglu will be replaced in the starting lineup tonight by Marco Belinelli and Antoine Wright may see extra minutes as well. The scenario would be the same if Hedo misses tomorrow's game as well. He should return after that so it's likely not worth picking up either option as a short-term replacement.

Hedo Turkoglu (fractured orbital bone) will not play on Tuesday against the Pacers, according to The Globe and Mail.

Our View:It sounds like Tuesday will be the only game he will miss, so it won't be necessary to start looking for a replacement.
February 1, 2010
Hedo Turkoglu, who fractured a bone in his face after being elbowed on Sunday, will likely be fitted with a mask and be able to play through the injury, according to the Toronto Star.

Our View:While he's been a bit inconsistent this season, Turkoglu was coming off a 26-point, 11-rebound game before getting hurt on Sunday. Given that he's expected to play tonight, you'd probably be best keeping him active in your lineup.
January 31, 2010
Hedo Turkoglu was elbowed in the face just one minute into Sunday's game and did not return.

Our View:There is no update yet on the severity of Turkoglu's injury, but he'll likely miss a little time. This is unfortunate as he was coming off his best game of the season and he was hit so early in the contest that he didn't have a chance to provide owners with anything tonight.
January 28, 2010
Hedo Turkoglu double-doubled on Thursday, scoring 26 points and picking up 11 rebounds, as the Raptors won a tight one over the Knicks 106-104.

Our View:Turkoglu hit 8-of-16 shots from the field, including 3-of-8 from downtown, and collected two assists, two steals and a block in the game as well. His point and rebound totals both represent new season highs.
January 20, 2010
Hedo Turkoglu went just 3-of-8 from beyond the arc on Wednesday, as Toronto lost 113-107 to the Bucks on a night where Chris Bosh scored 44 points.

Our View:Turkoglu clearly misses Orlando, and while he remains a solid option at forward, he is no longer an above-average one.
January 15, 2010
Hedo Turkoglu was productive in tonight's 112-104 win at New York, as he tallied 13 points, nine rebounds, five assists and two steals. He made 3-of-8 shots from three-point range.

Our View:Turkoglu remains a solid supporting player for Toronto, and tied his personal single-game high in rebounds for 2009-10.
January 2, 2010
Hedo Turkoglu has been cleared to play in tonight's game at Boston, according to play-by-play man Matt Devlin's twitter page.

Our View:Turkoglu was a game-time call due to his ailing knee. Use caution when considering him for fantasy duty.
