RJ Barrett News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Pops for game-high 30 points Barrett contributed 30 points (10-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds and seven assists over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 123-108 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Barrett led all scorers in the loss, continuing his strong season. While the Knicks did manage to blow yet another double-digit lead, Barrett can certainly hold his head high. On an interesting side note, the seven assists also marked his highest total since all the way back in November of 2019. His lack of defensive contributions do drag down his overall value, but his improved offensive output is enough for him to be considered a must-roster player in all formats.

Highlights ' RJ Barrett Scores Career-High 46 Points vs. Miami Heat

FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • YOUTUBE

Erupts for career-high 46 points Barrett (ankle) poured in a career-high 46 points (13-22 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 14-22 FT) and added nine rebounds and two assists across 38 minutes Friday in the Knicks' 115-100 loss to the...

Impact If not for his poor showing from the free-throw line, Barrett would have turned in one of the top overall fantasy lines of the NBA's nine-game Friday slate, but those that used him in DFS or get him active in season-long leagues certainly won't complain about his elite scoring production on efficient shooting from the field and downtown. Given that he's converting at only a 41.7 percent clip from the field and 36.2 percent rate from distance for the season, Barrett can't be relied upon for regular 40-point outbursts, but he looks like a solid option in 12-team leagues now that he's healthy again. Barrett had previously missed the Knicks' last four games with a left ankle sprain.

Good to go Barrett (ankle) is available for Friday's matchup against the Heat, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact After four straight absences, Barrett returns to the lineup, which is now without Kemba Walker after he was sent home for the remainder of the season. Prior to his absence, Barrett had reached double-figure scoring in 21 straight games, averaging 22.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 36.0 minutes.

Questionable Friday Barrett (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.

Impact Barrett was a full participant in practice Wednesday, and he'll have a chance to return to game action after missing the last four matchups with a left ankle sprain. Across his five appearances prior to his absence, he averaged 22.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 38.8 minutes per game.

Goes through practice Wednesday Barrett (ankle) went through a full practice Wednesday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Impact A sprained left ankle kept Barrett sidelined for the Knicks' final four games before the break, but he used the time off to recover, and it looks like he's on track to play Friday against Miami. The Knicks stopped short of officially clearing him to play, but as of now he looks to be more "probable" than "questionable."

Expected back after break Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said after Wednesday's 111-106 loss to the Nets that he anticipates Barrett (ankle) will be ready to play in the team's first game following the All...

Impact Barrett missed the Knicks' final four games of the first half with the left ankle sprain, which he sustained in the final minute of a Feb. 8 loss to Denver. The injury came at a particularly inconvenient time for Barrett, who had been averaging 22.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.4 triples in 36.5 minutes per game dating back to the start of January. Considering that he could be rusty when he returns in addition to the Knicks likely adding another high-usage player back to the mix in Derrick Rose (ankle) following the All-Star break, Barrett probably shouldn't be expected to immediately resume producing at the level he had been prior to spraining his ankle.

Likely out Thursday Barrett (ankle) is doubtful to play Thursday at Golden State.

Impact Barrett suffered a left ankle sprain during the closing stages of Tuesday's blowout loss to the Nuggets, and the injury is expected to cost him at least one game. Immanuel Quickley and Cam Reddish could see more run in his likely absence for the Knicks.

Tweaks ankle late in Tuesday's loss Barrett exited in the final minute of Tuesday's 132-115 loss to the Nuggets with an apparent left ankle sprain, Marc Berman of the New York Post reports. He finished the night with...

Impact Even though the Nuggets had the game well in hand late in the fourth quarter, Barrett was still on the court in the closing minutes. The decision proved costly, as Barrett took an awkward step on the foot of Denver's Davon Reed with approximately 18 seconds remaining, then limped badly to the sideline when he checked out of the contest. According to Berman, Barrett was still sporting a limp in the locker room after receiving treatment nearly an hour after the contest, so his status will bear watching heading into the final two games of the Knicks' road trip. New York returns to action Thursday with a matchup against the Warriors.

Puts up 23 inefficient points Barrett registered 23 points (8-25 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds and six assists across 43 minutes during Monday's 113-104 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Barrett extended his streak of scoring at least 23 points to three games, but the point production came at the cost of an ugly 8-for-25 effort from the field. The third-year forward made up in part for the poor shooting by adding seven boards, six assists and only one turnover. Barrett continues to emerge as a consistent -- but sometimes inefficient -- offensive weapon for the Knicks, posting at least 13 points in 20 straight contests.
