Lewis, who was acquired earlier Wednesday by Indiana from New Orleans in a deal that helped make the Siakam trade possible, also went to the Raptors.

Brown, Nwora and Lewis were all available to play in Toronto’s 116-110 loss to the Chicago Bulls last night. Only Brown played in the game, however.

Lewis averaged 2.9 points and 1.2 assists over 15 games with New Orleans this season.

Raptors 905, Toronto’s minor-league affiliate, hosts the Delaware Blue Coats on Saturday.
