Lawson (foot) is "hopeful" to play Thursday against the Raptors, Scott Agness of Vigilant Sports reports.

Analysis:

Lawson has been limited to just five minutes of court time since joining the Pacers, as he's been sidelined for the past three games with a sprained left foot. He resumed working out Monday in the form of pool activity and playing 5-on-5, but believes he overexerted himself, which resulted in the Pacers holding him out Tuesday against the Celtics. However, with X-rays on his left foot coming back negative, a well-rested Lawson should be back on the court before long, though he'll likely see limited minutes behind starting point guard George Hill.
