The Toronto Raptors look to bounce back from a buzzer-beater loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday, and they’ll have some added help to do so.
Jakob Poetl will make his return to the lineup when the Raptors take on the Charlotte Hornets on Friday after being rested for the matchup against the Lakers, the team have announced.
The 30-year-old has averaged 12.3 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.0 steals over his last 10 appearances this season.
Toronto will still be without forward RJ Barrett (knee) and guard Ochai Agbaji (personal), who remain on the Raptors’ Injury Report heading into their game against Charlotte at the Scotiabank Arena.
But the Raptors will have forward Jonathan Mogbo available Friday after the team recalled him from the Raptors 905.
Mogbo, 24, has appeared in nine games for the Raptors this season and is averaging 0.9 points and 1.6 rebounds in just under five minutes a contest.
