Powell cleared to practise, nearing return to Raptors’ roster

TORONTO—Norm Powell has been sidelined for 20 Toronto Raptors games this season with two different injuries.

But the toughest to watch was Tuesday’s 108-97 loss to the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks.

“After a while, it gets a little frustrating and you get a little anxious there to get out there and play, especially when you’re watching games like that — the Milwaukee one ... you just want to get out there and go to war with your team,” Powell said.

Powell, who fractured a finger on his non-shooting hand on Jan. 31 in Detroit, was finally cleared to practise on Thursday, and is listed as questionable for Friday’s game versus the visiting Charlotte Hornets.
