Matt Thomas is about to get his first real shot with the Raptors

There are two things the Raptors could use right now: bodies and shooting.

Enter Matt Thomas.

The rookie shooting guard — who missed 21 games with a fractured finger on his left, non-shooting hand — returned to the court with the G League’s Raptors 905 on Monday night, a prelude to his expected return to NBA action Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers at Scotiabank Arena.

The 25-year-old Thomas, who signed with the Raptors after playing in Spain, has appeared in 12 games and is averaging 4.8 points, while shooting 54.
