Raptors' Ross available to play vs. Hornets

The Toronto Raptors will have two key rotation players back in the lineup Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets.

After missing Wednesday's 112-102 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder with a sprained right index finger, guard Terrence Ross will be available to play for head coach Dwane Casey.

Ross is averaging nine points and 2.7 rebounds on a career-best 48.8 percent shooting from the field in six appearances off the bench.

Center Jonas Valanciunas will also return after sitting two games with a left knee contusion.

Toronto is just 1-9 in games at Charlotte since Casey took over as coach back in 2011.
