The Toronto Raptors will have at least one of their superstar wings on Monday.
Scottie Barnes is available for the Raptors' game against the Los Angeles Clippers after initially being listed as questionable with left hip soreness and tightness, the team announced.
Barnes avoided joining fellow starters Kawhi Leonard (knee discomfort) and Jakob Poeltl (shoulder bursitis) on the injury report.
Poeltl and Barnes were both game-time decisions and went through warm-ups before their statuses were decided.
Barnes has had a volatile start to the season, scoring zero points against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Oct. 25 before setting a career high with 41 two games later.
The 25-year-old is averaging 24.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.2 steals through six games.
He played a career-high 80 games last season, earned the second all-star selection of his career, finished fifth in Defensive Player of the Year voting and made the All-Defensive second team.
Meanwhile, Poeltl will miss a second consecutive game after being ruled out for Game 1 of the Raptors' West Coast road trip against the Lakers on Sunday.
Collin Murray-Boyles replaced Poeltl in the lineup for his first start of the season.
