Andersen (ankle) missed shootaround but is expected to play Friday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Andersen has been nagged by an ankle issue of late, but he's expected to be available off the bench Friday in Toronto. Andersen is coming off of an 18-point, 14-rebound performance Wednesday, but he's unlikely to approach that production with Hassan Whiteside back.
