TORONTO — The waning Toronto Raptors received a huge boost with the returns of stars Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes ahead of their game against Cleveland on Monday night.
Siakam missed 10 games with an adductor muscle strain.
The star forward was playing at the elite level before suffering the injury in a game on November 4 in Dallas.
