NBA.com's Gil McGregor and Kyle Irving are back for another recap of the week that was for the Toronto Raptors.

After going .500 in a four-game week, the biggest story is the return of Pascal Siakam, who missed the first 10 games of the regular season while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. With Siakam back in the fold, the two discuss what it means for the rest of the team moving forward, specifically rookie forward Scottie Barnes, who continues to turn heads with his play.

They spin things forward to the week ahead, in which the Raptors take the floor three times to face some intriguing tests.

NBA.com's Gil McGregor is back with a recap of the week that was and a preview of the week that is to come for the Raptors.

Riding the momentum of a three-game win streak, Toronto is above the .500 mark for the first time since February of 2021, and it has done so thanks to the play of Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, Scottie Barnes and Gary Trent Jr., who is impressing with his defensive impact.

Look ahead to the Raptors' next four games and when they can expect Pascal Siakam and Yuta Watanabe back in the lineup. Head to NBA.com for more Raptors and NBA coverage.
