As per Raptors media relations,
Bruno Caboclo rejoins Raptors today from D-League’s Fort Wayne Mad Ants. #raptors #rtz

Caboclo was sent down to the D-League on Feb 18 since the chances of him getting time with the team was unlikely. Now, though, things may be different and since Dwane Casey prefers to use a “scramble group” consisting of smaller guys. Caboclo could fit in that mould of a player, as he can cover a lot of ground, so this could be indicative of something more than a regular call-up to get some practice time in.
Caboclo did register his fair share of DNPCD’s but did manage to get into four game games (game log) where he played a whopping total of 23 minutes. Clearly, the D-League system isn’t working for the Raptors who need Caboclo playing a lot more if these stints are worth anything. His best game came against the Westchester Knicks where played 10 minutes in a blowout, going 3-5 for 8 points.
In the four games he went a combined 4-23, and his D-League shot-chart looks like a California wildfire – of note is his shooting percentage near the rim.
