Sitting out Monday Barrett (rest) will not play Monday against the Magic, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so this is not a surprise. During Sunday's 141-127 overtime win over the Warriors, Barrett had 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 24 minutes. Ja'Kobe Walter, Ochai Agbaji and Gradey Dick could be more involved Monday with this news.

Packs box score in limited minutes Barrett (knee) tallied 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 24 minutes Sunday in the Raptors' 141-127 overtime win over the Warriors.

Impact Suiting up for the first time since Nov. 23 after missing Toronto's previous 15 games due to a right knee sprain, Barrett took back his spot in the starting five but was on a minute restriction. Barrett was able to fill out three categories nicely during his return to the court, though his production was weighted down by poor shooting from the field and free-throw line. Assuming Barrett experienced no setbacks coming out of Sunday's contest, he should be in line for a bump in minutes his next time out. The Raptors could elect to hold him out for rest purposes Monday against the Magic in the second leg of a back-to-back set, in which case Barrett's next appearance would come Wednesday versus the Nuggets.

Available but limited Barrett (knee) will play under a minutes restriction Sunday against Golden State, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Impact Barrett will return from a 15-game absence due to a sprained right knee. Given the lengthy absence, Barrett will have his minutes monitored Sunday, though it's unclear exactly how many minutes he'll be limited to. The 25-year-old wing is averaging 19.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists across 30.9 minutes per game this season.

Iffy for Sunday Barrett (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Barrett hasn't played since Nov. 23 due to a sprained right knee but is now considered day-to-day and could return as soon as Sunday. The 25-year-old forward will likely operate under a minutes restriction whenever he's cleared to play, though his potential return would still leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Ochai Agbaji and Ja'Kobe Walter.

Impact Barrett was recently cleared to return to on-court activities and was cleared to engage in full contact during Friday's practice. He won't play against the Wizards on Friday, but he seemingly has a shot at making his return against the Warriors on Sunday. Barrett has not played since Nov. 23 due to a sprained right knee, and his return would likely result in Ochai Agbaji reverting to a rotational role off the bench.

Resumes on-court activities Barrett (knee) has been cleared to participate in on-court activities, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact It's a significant step in Barrett's recovery from a right knee sprain that he sustained in late November. The next step is for Barrett to participate in live work against coaches. After that, he'll return to practice and eventually participate in live scrimmages. It's uncertain how quickly he'll be able to advance through these final hurdles, but a December return may not be feasible.

Out again Saturday Barrett (knee) won't play Saturday against the Celtics, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Not ready to return Barrett (knee) won't play in Thursday's game against the Bucks, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca.

Impact Barrett was slated to begin his return-to-play progression this week, but a return to game action isn't in the cards quite yet. Saturday's matchup against Boston marks the star forward's next chance to play. While Barrett remains slowed by a knee sprain, Ochai Agbaji and Jamal Shead could see enough playing time to warrant some streaming appeal in deep leagues.

Impact Barrett has already been ruled out for Monday's game against the Heat, but a return is on the horizon. A return Thursday against the Bucks hasn't been ruled out, though it does seem unlikely at this point with Barrett just starting to ramp back up.
