Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry will return to the lineup Friday night against the Orlando Magic.

Lowry, who has been out since March 24 with back spasms, participated in shootaround with the team Friday morning and felt good enough to be added to the starting lineup.

The team will not have Amir Johnson on the floor against the Magic, however. 

Johnson also took part in the team's shootaround, but will miss his third straight game with an ankle injury.

The 27-year-old is expected to return for the Raptors in prior to end of the regular season. 

The Raptors - first in the Atlantic Division, fourth in the Eastern Conference - have four games remaining in the regular season.
