Cleared to play Game 4
Lawson (back) is available for Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Cavaliers on Sunday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analysis
Lawson popped up on the injury report due to back spasms, but he has been given the green light to play in Sunday's pivotal game as the Raptors look to even the series at 2-2. He saw just two minutes of playing time during the Raptors' Game 3 win on Thursday, when he missed his lone field-goal attempt without recording any other counting stat.

Questionable for Game 4
Lawson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against Cleveland.
Analysis
Lawson popped up on the injury report because of back spasms. The 25-year-old logged 14 minutes in Game 1 of the series, though he recorded only seven total minutes in the last two contests, meaning his absence won't have much of an impact on the rotation.
