The Toronto Raptors got forward Pascal Siakam back Sunday when he returned to action against the San Antonio Spurs. Siakam had missed 11 straight games with a groin injury.
Toronto also saw the return of guard Norman Powell from an 11-game absence due to a shoulder injury. Center Marc Gasol, who had also missed the same amount of time with a hamstring issue, remains inactive.
Siakam has evolved into the Raptors' primary offensive player this season, leading the team in scoring at just over 25 points per game. The 25-year-old Cameroonian currently ranks third in Eastern Conference frontcourt All-Star voting.
