Franchise player Scottie Barnes was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and could return to the lineup as soon as Thursday against Minnesota after missing 11 games with a fractured right orbital bone. Barnes looked “really good” after finally being cleared for contact and a real practice, according to Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic, who said “we’ll see how he responds tomorrow.”

Bad pic, but that’s Scottie Barnes shooting with a mask on. He might be available to play Thursday night. Brice Brown & Ja’Kobe Walter also practiced Monday. Brown (knee) now reconditioning. Walter day-to-day. Olynyk and Quickley still out. pic.x.com/SvnvDNAt9o – 1:11 PM
