Turkoglu to play but won't start after benching Mon Mar 29 18:14:00 2010 EST

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -Toronto Raptors forward Hedo Turkoglu was back in the rotation on Monday night against Charlotte, but not as a starter a night after being benched.

Turkoglu, who signed a five-year, $53 million free-agent deal with the Raptors last offseason, was a healthy scratch for the first time in over seven years in Sunday's loss to Miami. That came after reports that he was seen out on the town hours after missing Friday's loss to Denver with a stomach virus.
