Pascal Siakam to return Sunday against Brooklyn Nets

Pascal Siakam will return Sunday against the Nets after missing the first 10 games of the season.

Raptors forward Pascal Siakam is set to make his season debut after missing the first 10 games to complete his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery.

Raptors coach Nick Nurse told the media Saturday that Siakam will return for Sunday’s home game against the Nets (3:30 ET, League Pass). Nurse said he hadn’t decided whether Siakam will start, and that the one-time All-Star will be on a minutes restriction for the immediate future.

Siakam has been out since surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder in June. A key player in Toronto’s 2019 championship run, Siakam averaged 21.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals last season.

The Raptors started 6-4 without Siakam, good for eighth in the Eastern Conference.
