Will Barton News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Reduced role continues Barton ended with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 127-126 win over Dallas.

Impact Barton remains an afterthought when it comes to fantasy, logging just 15 minutes in the victory. Prior to Tuesday, he had not even been in the rotation for over a week, highlighting what a struggle it has been since arriving in Washington. At this point, it appears as though a trade is Barton's only chance at redeeming himself. For now, however, managers can focus their attention elsewhere.

Barely plays in win Barton posted no counting stats across two minutes during Friday's 119-100 win over Orlando.

Impact After seeing zero minutes in the previous game, Barton managed to get on the court Friday night for less than three minutes, contributing no positive statistics. This was also without Bradley Beal, who sat out (hamstring). Barton's minutes had been gradually decreasing over the past couple weeks, and it seems he's now almost completely out of the rotation for the time being.

Outside of rotation Barton has been a DNP-Coach's Decision across the past two games.

Impact Barton has struggled after being traded from Denver to Washington during the offseason. The veteran is shooting just 37.1 percent from the field and has the worst point differential on the team (-11.4 per 100 possessions). It's not clear if he'll re-enter the rotation, and the front office may look to unload him at the deadline.

Removed from injury report Barton (back) isn't on the injury report for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia.

Impact Barton was initially considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup, but he'll be able to return after missing Friday's game due to low back pain. Over his last six appearances, he's averaged 12.2 points, 3.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 23.8 minutes per game.

Questionable against Philadelphia Barton (back) is questionable to play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Barton is questionable Tuesday after missing Friday's game with low back pain. Rui Hachimura and Corey Kispert will likely see extended minutes if Barton is ruled out.

DECEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play due to back pain Barton has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings due to low back pain, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Barton was a late addition to the injury report and won't play Friday due to back pain. Deni Avdija (back) is also out, so Corey Kispert, Anthony Gill and Rui Hachimura are all candidates for increased roles.

Remains limited in win Barton racked up six points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 113-110 victory over the Suns.

Impact Barton scored in double figures in each of his first three appearances after returning from a two-game absence, but he's now been held below 10 points in back-to-back games. He was also unable to generate much production in secondary categories Tuesday, as he had one of his worst fantasy performances of the season.

DECEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies nine dimes against ex-team Barton chipped in 22 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-7 FT), nine assists, two rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 141-128 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Barton spent seven-plus seasons with Denver before joining Washington in the offseason, and he averaged more than four assists only once in that span. Thus, his nine-dime performance Wednesday was pretty unexpected, though it's worth noting that he tied a season high with seven assists in his previous contest two days ago versus Brooklyn. Barton also scored 22 points in that game, and with 44 points over his past two contests, he appears to be settling in after a rough start to his tenure with the Wizards. That being said, the Wizards were without Bradley Beal (hamstring) and Kristaps Porzingis (back) on Wednesday, so Barton won't be able to maintain this level of usage when both players are healthy.

Impact The veteran wing missed the past two games with a foot injury, but Barton looked 100 percent healthy Monday as he led the Wizards in scoring and saw his biggest workload since late October. Barton's 22 points were a season high, but he'd scored in double digits only once in his prior 13 games, as the former Nugget has struggled to get comfortable in Washington.

Out again Saturday Barton (foot) will remain sidelined for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Stay in Struggletown continues Barton finished Sunday's 130-119 loss to the Lakers with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and one block in 22 minutes.

Impact Barton was a non-factor once again in the loss, continuing what has been a terrible start to the season. Despite playing a relatively consistent role off the bench, he has simply been unable to get anything going on either end of the floor. While there is upside for him to be a top-100 asset, based on what we have seen thus far, he can be safely left on the wire, even in deeper formats. Barton's current 7.4 points per game would mark his lowest average since the 2014-15 season.

DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Held in check against Nets Barton logged two points (1-4 FG), one assist and one steal over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact Barton was held without a rebound for the first time this season during Wednesday's loss, and he was unable to prop up his fantasy value in other areas against the Nets. He's been held to single-digit scoring totals in four consecutive matchups and has averaged 5.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 19.8 minutes per game during that time.

DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Surprising source of scoring Barton registered 13 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 113-105 loss to Miami.

Impact Barton scored in double figures for the first time since Nov. 10 against Dallas, and he also dished out a season-high seven dimes. The Memphis product has struggled to consistently produce of late, as he was averaging 4.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in his last five contests prior to Wednesday's clash.

Impact Barton hit a new low in this one, contributing only a rebound and playing just eight minutes, marking the first time he didn't reach double-digit minutes on the year.
