RJ Barrett News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Ruled out for Sunday Barrett (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Barrett exited Friday's loss to the Celtics with a left ankle injury, and he hasn't recovered in time to play in the first leg of this back-to-back set. The absence of Barrett and Jakob Poeltl (back), as well as the questionable tags on Brandon Ingram (thumb) and Scottie Barnes (knee), suggest the Raptors will be extremely shorthanded for this contest. Expect Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji and Ja'Kobe Walter to see more minutes with Barrett out.

Steps up in fourth quarter Barrett finished Wednesday's 97-96 win over the Hornets with 28 points (12-25 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes.

Impact Barrett stepped up in a big way for the Raptors after Brandon Ingram left in the first half due to a right thumb sprain, with the former scoring 16 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter to help spur the Raptors' come-from-behind victory. Scottie Barnes also briefly left the game due to a right knee injury before returning late in the fourth frame, which was another big reason for Barrett taking a larger scoring role in Toronto's victory. Barrett's return has been crucial for the Raptors, who have won 10 of their last 11 games in contests that the 2019 first-rounder has played in, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca. In his five outings since returning from a sprained right knee that cost him 16 games, Barrett has averaged 20.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.0 steals over 28.9 minutes per contest.

Drops season-high 29 points Barrett amassed 29 points (11-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 134-117 win over Atlanta.

Impact Barrett, Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes combined for 78 points during Saturday's win. Barrett logged a season-high in points while connecting on four three-pointers for the first time since Nov. 4 against the Bucks. The seventh-year forward continues to work his way back from a right knee injury that caused him to miss 15 straight games, but the fact he was able to play 30 minutes is an encouraging sign. Barrett will look to replicate his performance in Monday's rematch against Atlanta.
