Norman Powell Returns for Raptors vs. Magic
The Toronto Raptors will have Norman Powell back after a two-game absence due to a thigh injury, according to Raptors PR.
The 27-year-old will likely step into the starting lineup to replace OG Anunoby who remains out with a calf straight. Powell has looked like a totally different player in his seven starts this season. He's averaging 20.1 points on 50.5% shooting when he starts compared to just 10.5 points on 35% shooting in his games off the bench.
Anunoby is expected to be out for at least another week, Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse said on Sunday. He's battling a calf injury he sustained late in the Raptors' loss to the Indiana Pacers on January 25.
The Orlando Magic will be without Aaron Gordon who suffered a severe ankle sprain on Sunday.
