Toronto Raptors forward Rudy Gay is in the starting lineup for Wednesday clash with the Atlanta Hawks.

Gay returns from a one-game absence after injuring his back on Friday, the first game of a home-and-home series with the New York Knicks, and did not play in Saturday's contest in New York.

The 26-year-old has averaged 19.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.9 steals in 21 games since joining the Raptors in a trade with Memphis.
