Joey Dorsey played 29 minutes and hit 5-of-8 shots for 12 points, 13 rebounds and two blocks in a loss to the Bulls.

He got extra run because Amir Johnson was stinking up the joint and Andrea Bargnani was out with a knee injury. Dorsey has no value as long as Bargnani is healthy, unless he somehow ends up back in the starting lineup.

Joey Dorsey started and played 19 minutes on Sunday, scoring nine points on 4-of-6 shooting with six rebounds and two assists.

Popular speculation at the time of Reggie Evans' injury (foot) was that Amir Johnson would inherit the starting gig, but head coach Jay Triano announced shortly before the game that Joey Dorsey would start. Johnson played 20 minutes on Sunday and scored four points with six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block. It's too early to tell how Triano will go about replacing Evans, but right now, it looks like a value-depleting timeshare between Dorsey and Johnson.

Unexpectedly, Joey Dorsey - not Amir Johnson - will start in place of Reggie Evans (fractured right foot) for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Amir Johnson is expected to start at PF for the Raptors with Reggie Evans sidelined, but backup big man Joey Dorsey could also help fill the void.

"Joey Dorsey's been working hard and he's going to have a chance to play," said coach Jay Triano. "We talked about trying to find minutes for Peja [Stojakovic] and...Amir Johnson can slide over into a starting role which has happened in the past." This probably only interests owners in deep leagues, but Dorsey is worth keeping an eye on.

Joey Dorsey grabbed a season-high 11 rebounds on Saturday, but chipped in just two points with no assists and three steals in 16 minutes.

This is the first noise he's made all year, and we don't expect him to have fantasy value anytime soon.

Joey Dorsey was reinstated from his suspension on Wednesday November 3.

Raptors big man Joey Dorsey sat out Sunday's exhibition with a hamstring injury.

No details have emerged, but it's unlikely that fantasy owners noticed Dorsey's inactivity anyway. He's suspended for the first game of the season because he threw a punch at Brian Scalabrine.

Raptors forward Joey Dorsey has been suspended for one game for throwing a punch at Brian Scalabrine.

If you didn't know that Dorsey and Scalabrine were still in the hunt to play in the NBA this season, you are not alone.

The Raptors announced Sunday that they have signed big man Joey Dorsey.

He is being signed simply for depth as the Raptors try to hold off the Bulls for the last playoff spot in the East, and he will have no fantasy value.
