3 years agoToronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder) could return as early as next week, according to head coach Nick Nurse. Siakam hasn't played this season after he underwent surgery back in June to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The 27-year-old will most likely be slowly integrated back into the mix and should see a minutes restriction as a result. Nevertheless, fantasy managers should continue to hold him out of the lineup until he can log a full workload. Yet, Siakam's abbreviated appearances early on may still be bad news for rookie Scottie Barnes, who continues to start and make his case for Rookie of the Year honors by averaging 18.1 points and 8.9 boards so far during his inaugural campaign.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
