Raptors' Terrence Ross: Seeing modest bench role

Ross is averaging 3.6 points (on 28.6 percent shooting), 1.6 rebounds, and 0.8 three-pointers over 14.8 minutes in his five games since returning from a thumb injury.

Ross returned about a week earlier than expected from the injury, but he's looked a little rusty since reclaiming his bench role, particularly with his shot. The swingman has never been an especially efficient shooter, and the offseason addition of DeMarre Carroll may no longer require coach Dwane Casey to call on Ross for three-point production. That's been reflected in the playing time Ross has received this season, as he's averaging just 16.4 minutes per game, down all the way from 25.5 in 2014-15.
