Temple (hamstring) will play in Friday's preseason finale against the Nets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Temple missed the last two preseason games versus the Celtics due to hamstring tightness but will return ahead of Opening Night. The 38-year-old will bring a veteran presence to the club, but he will likely struggle to find significant minutes behind a plethora of young options in a year geared toward development.

Rotowire

Raptors' Garrett Temple: Making first start since 2021-22
Rotowire
Temple will enter the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Timberwolves, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
Temple will make his first start in a little over two years. He'll benefit from a slew of Raptors injuries, with the team having only eight available players for Wednesday's tilt. During his last five appearances, Temple is averaging 5.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals.
Raptors' Garrett Temple: Chips in 15 off bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Temple totaled 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 145-101 loss to the Knicks.
The 37-year-old wing has seen a significant role in the Raptors' injury-ravaged rotation over the last week, and Temple's 15 points and six boards were both season highs. With RJ Barrett (conditioning) and Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) both about to rejoin the lineup, Temple will likely be the first player bumped to the end of the bench for the rebuilding team.
Temple played the final 3:44 of Sunday's 133-118 win over the Warriors, finishing with two points (1-1 FG) and one turnover.
Temple missed the Raptors' final three games of December due to an ankle sprain, but he's been active for each of Toronto's first four contests of the new year. Sunday's contest marked the first time he saw any game action, however, with Temple checking into the game in garbage time while Toronto held a 20-point lead. Barring a slew of injuries to the team's guards and wings, the 37-year-old will remain outside of Toronto's rotation all season, though he'll serve as a valuable veteran mentor for the younger players on the roster.
