Barnes' next chance to play will come Sunday versus the 76ers, but that game will be the first of a back-to-back set.

Impact Poeltl was scheduled to practice Thursday, but the center is not quite ready to return. His next chance to play comes Sunday against the 76ers. Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili are likely to see increased roles in the meantime.

Scottie Barnes - Questionable for Friday Barnes is questionable for Friday's game versus Boston with a right knee sprain.

Impact Barnes limped to the locker room early in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Hornets with this knee issue, but he was able to return for the end of the game.

Jamal Shead - Hands out six dimes Shead accumulated four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 97-96 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Shead wasn't able to find his rhythm offensively, but he continues to excel as a playmaker. Over his last seven games, he's shooting 37.5 percent from the field with averages of 7.7 points, 5.3 assists, 1.1 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 22.0 minutes.

Sandro Mamukelashvili - Notches 10 points in win Mamukelashvili accumulated 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 97-96 win over the Hornets.

Impact The Raptors seem content with Collin Murray-Boyles at center for the time being, but Mamukelashvili remains heavily involved for the second unit. It's worth mentioning that Jakob Poeltl (back) is getting closer to a return, so it will be interesting to see how this center rotation shapes up.

Jakob Poeltl - Set to practice Thursday Poeltl (back) is scheduled to participate in Thursday's practice, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact After he was recently cleared to resume taking contact, Poeltl will take another important step forward in his recovery from a lower-back strain by taking part in drills with his healthy teammates. Even if Poeltl checks out fine following Thursday's workout, he may not be cleared to play Friday in Boston, but it's apparent nonetheless that the veteran center is close to a return. Grange notes that the Raptors don't plan on re-signing recently waived big man Mo Bamba to a 10-day deal with the expectation that Poeltl will be back in the fold soon.
