Scottie Barnes will return to the lineup against the New York Knicks on Sunday, TSN's Josh Lewenberg reports. 

Barnes, 20, last played on Dec. 18 in a win over Golden State.

The rookie forward was placed in the NBA's health and safety protocols from Dec. 21 to Dec. 30, but was then sidelined by a right knee injury. 

In 27 games this season, Barnes is averaging 15.6 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists.

The Raptors now have a full rotation of players and are expected to start Barnes along with Fred VanVleet, Gary Trent Jr., OG Anunoby, and Pascal Siakam against the Knicks.
