The Kenfrost Homes Cairns Taipans welcome Reyne Smith back to the line-up, after suffering a plantar fascia tear in his right foot on November 1.
The promising guard was originally scheduled to return in Round 11, however his return-to-play date was pushed back.
Smith has travelled to Brisbane today, to suit up in the team's second game of their Round 20 double-header.
As Smith returns to the roster tomorrow, Taipans' nominated injury replacement Lachlan Barker will move to replace Mawot Mag.
The Taipans remain without Mag, Sam Waardenburg and Alex Higgins-Titsha.
