Nurse had said before Friday’s 102-101 loss to Cleveland that Siakam’s return was imminent, but that it would likely happen next week.

Siakam has been participating in full-contact practices this week, and Nurse said his recovery is slightly ahead of schedlue.

The Raptors (6-4) saw their five-game win streak end against Cleveland.

Siakam averaged 21.4 points and 7.2 rebounds a game last season for Toronto.
