Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports
James Johnson returned to action Thursday for the Toronto Raptors when they hosted the Denver Nuggets at the Air Canada Centre.
The bruising 6-foot-9 forward missed Wednesday's 96-86 win over the Atlanta Hawks with a sore left Achilles.
Johnson, 28, has played a limited role off the bench for Dwane Casey's squad, which he vented about recently on Twitter.
Johnson is averaging 3.7 points and 2.1 rebounds in 12.7 minutes for the 12-7 Raptors.
