The Toronto Raptors are back to full strength, with RJ Barrett set to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night after his knee felt good following Friday’s game against the Houston Rockets, according to Raptors coach Darko Rajaković.

Additionally, Ochai Agbaji and Kelly Olynyk are ready to make their debut following the trade deadline deal with the Utah Jazz. Although they were available on Friday night, they did not play. Rajaković mentioned that coaches were designated to communicate with both Olynyk and Agbaji during the game to help them acclimate more quickly.

He noted that both new players are asking insightful questions. In terms of their roles, both players are expected to come off the bench for the Raptors. Olynyk will assume the backup center minutes behind Jakob Poeltl, while Agbaji is anticipated to join the second unit as a defensive-minded guard who can help defend at the point of attack.

The Raptors have signed Justise Winslow and Mouhamadou Gueye to 10-day contracts, the team confirmed. While they’re not expected to play much on Saturday except during garbage time, Toronto wanted to recognize the efforts of two of its top G League players this season. “They have performed admirably this year with our 905 program,” Rajaković stated. “Their addition to our team will be valuable, and it’s also a form of recognition for their contributions throughout the season.”
