Hansbrough (ankle) may return to action Friday at Philadelphia, the Toronto Sun reports.

Analysis:

Hansbrough has sat out 11 consecutive games in order to allow his ankle to heal fully, which was of utmost important to the forward himself. However, it's difficult to see him earning much playing time due to the presence of Jonas Valanciunas, Amir Johnson, and Patrick Peterson in the Raptors' frontcourt.
