Raptors stars Siakam, Barnes return to lineup for game against Cavaliers

Nov 28, 2022 | 3:10 PM

TORONTO — The depleted Toronto Raptors got a huge boost before their game Monday night against Cleveland with the return of stars Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes.

Siakam missed 10 games with a strained adductor muscle.

The star forward was playing at an elite level before sustaining the injury in a game Nov. 4 at Dallas.

Siakam leads the Raptors with 24.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game.

Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said Siakam will have “some limitations” on his minutes.

Toronto forwards Precious Achiuwa (ankle) and Otto Porter Jr., (toe) remain out.
