Raptors Rookie Allen Graves Set to Return After Minor Preseason Injury

Toronto Raptors rookie forward Allen Graves is recovering from a minor tweaked groin that kept him out of the preseason opener, though the injury is not deemed serious. The No. 19 overall pick, who transitioned from high school quarterback to basketball following a dramatic late growth spurt, impressed during Summer League by averaging nearly 17 points and 7 assists while shooting 50% from three-point range. He is expected to provide key perimeter defense and shooting upon his return.
