RJ Barrett Returns to Action Friday After Seven-Game Ankle Absence

Toronto Raptors swingman RJ Barrett (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, shedding his questionable tag. He returns to action after missing seven games due to a sprained left ankle. While it's currently unclear if the 25-year-old will be under a minutes restriction, it would not be surprising given his extended absence. His return means fewer minutes will be available for Jamal Shead, Ochai Agbaji, and Gradey Dick in the rotation.
