Raptors' RJ Barrett Returns Against Cavaliers After Concussion

The Toronto Raptors are preparing for their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers with RJ Barrett returning from a concussion, while Jakob Poeltl remains sidelined due to a hip injury. Despite Barrett's return, the Raptors will still be missing Brandon Ingram, who is out for at least a month with an ankle injury. The Cavaliers will also be shorthanded, with Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade ruled out, and Max Strus and Ty Jerome listed as questionable for the matchup. Ingram recently signed a three-year, $120 million contract extension with the Raptors, solidifying his future with the team. PJ Tucker, newly acquired by Toronto, is also not expected to debut soon, as discussions about a potential buyout remain uncertain. Both teams will look to gain momentum before the All-Star break, with the Raptors aiming to end a challenging season on a high note.
