Sore back keeps Raptors' Belinelli out vs. Nets

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Toronto backup guard Marco Belinelli was a late scratch for the Raptors' game against the New Jersey Nets on Saturday night because of a sore lower back.

The Raptors didn't make the announcement until roughly 45 minutes before game time.

Belinelli is averaging 7.6 points in 57 games.

Guard Antoine Wright, who missed the Raptors' last two games with a sore right ankle, returned to the lineup.
