TORONTO — Scottie Barnes is back.

Barnes was inserted into the Toronto Raptors starting lineup ahead of tonight’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

He broke his right orbital bone in the fourth quarter of Toronto’s 121-119 overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets on Nov. 4.

Barnes was expected to be out at least three weeks with the injury but came back slightly ahead of schedule.

Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic would not say who would be moved to the bench to make space for Barnes.
