The Toronto Raptors have assigned Lucas Nogueira to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the NBA Development League.

Nogueira will continue to be included on the Raptors’ roster and will remain on the team’s inactive list. He is expected to be in uniform for the Mad Ants on Saturday when they play host to the Delaware 87ers at 7:30 p.m.

Nogueira made his NBA debut November 21 versus Milwaukee and grabbed a season-high five rebounds in nine minutes of action. He has played a total of 23 minutes in six games with Toronto this season, recording six points and 11 rebounds.

A native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Nogueira was selected 16th overall by Boston in the 2013 NBA Draft.

Jordan Crawford has been acquired by the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the NBA D-League, the team announced Wednesday.

Crawford is set to be in action with the Mad Ants on Saturday against Delaware.

Crawford played in the Chinese Basketball Association before leaving due to a medical issue.

The Los Angeles Clippers are strongly considering signing Andre Emmett, league sources tell RealGM.

Emmett is a leading candidate for D-League MVP, averaging 22.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

Emmett has had two short NBA stints with the Memphis Grizzlies and Brooklyn Nets after being a second round pick in 2004.
