Norman Powell - Questionable versus Toronto Powell (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Toronto.
Impact Powell missed four consecutive contests due to an illness before returning for Tuesday's 121-95 loss to the Raptors. However, he's back on the injury report for Thursday's rematch because of right-groin soreness, an issue he has dealt with throughout the campaign.
