Garrett Temple News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Plays nine minutes in return Temple (personal) tallied zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in nine minutes Friday in the Raptors' 118-109 win over the Jazz.

Impact After he was away from the team for its last five games while tending to a personal matter, Temple was available Friday in the front end of a back-to-back set. Though he hadn't played in coach's decisions in the Raptors' prior nine games before his recent five-game absence, Temple was called upon to play some light minutes off the bench Friday since Toronto had ruled out eight players due to injury or rest and then had Ja'Kobe Walter (quadricep) exit the game for good in the third quarter. Toronto will likely get RJ Barrett (rest) back for Saturday's game against the Wizards, so Temple could end up moving back out of the rotation.

Set to return against Utah Temple has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Jazz, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

It remains to be seen how much time the 38-year-old veteran will play against Utah, but it is safe to assume he won't be a factor from a fantasy perspective, playing only 3.9 minutes per game when available this season.

Remains out for personal reasons Temple remains out for Friday's game against the Bulls due to personal reasons.

Impact The veteran guard remains away from the team, and his next chance to rejoin the club arrives Sunday in Orlando.
