It seems DeMar DeRozan’s return to the Toronto Raptors lineup isn’t too far away.

The 25-year-old took part in his first full practice on Thursday since injuring his groin on Nov. 28 and appeared to be progressing well.

DeRozan tore a tendon in his groin in a game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was averaging 19.4 points per game prior to the injury.

The Raptors are 8-2 in their last 10 games and currently sit atop the Eastern Conference with a 24-8 record.
