Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett is on the mend from his knee sprain that held him out for a month.

Barrett has been practicing with the team and doing contact drills. Now, he's ready to take the court against the Golden State Warriors. According to Sportsnet reporter Michael Grange, Barrett will make his return on a minutes restriction against the Warriors.

"RJ Barrett available vs. Warriors. He will be on a minutes restriction after being out five weeks. There is expected to be a medical update on Jakob Poeltl (back, out) on Monday," Grange tweeted.

Barrett back vs. Warriors

Getting Barrett back is a massive boost for the team, especially after rookie forward Collin Murray-Boyles was ruled out with an illness.

Tip-off between the Warriors and Raptors is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET inside Scotiabank Arena. Fans can watch the game on TSN Sports or stream it on NBA League Pass.
