Out for remainder of preseason Barrett (shoulder) will miss the remainder of the preseason, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Barrett sustained a sprain to his right acromioclavicular joint during the second quarter of Sunday's preseason over the Wizards. It's unclear if Barrett will be available for Opening Night against the Cavaliers on Oct. 23, but there should be at least some optimism given the injury is to his right, non-shooting shoulder. Regardless, fantasy managers should monitor Barrett's situation closely ahead of drafts and may have to drop him down a couple of ranks if he's going to miss regular-season action.

Impact Barrett was automatic from the field Saturday, and he came in clutch alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as Canada began their Olympic campaign with a win. The 24-year-old led Canada in points, and he will likely serve as one of the squad's top options offensively as Gilgeous-Alexander has already seen defenses swarm him, despite a 21-point performance of his own Saturday. Furthermore, Barrett is getting a heavy dose of minutes as well as the opportunity to display his talents, coming in behind only Giannis Antetokounmpo in playing time in the match.

Won't play Sunday Barrett (knee) has ruled out for Toronto's regular-season finale versus Miami, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Dealing with knee soreness Barrett is questionable for Sunday's game against Miami due to knee soreness, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Barrett dropped 35 points in 33 minutes during Friday's loss Miami, but it's unclear if he'll take the court Sunday. Koreen speculates that given Toronto's circumstance entering the regular-season finale, "questionable will surely mean out," although Barrett's official status is still to be determined.

Impact Barrett was Toronto's best player by a wide margin Friday, but his explosive offensive outing was not enough to lift the Raptors to victory. It's unclear whether Barrett will see any minutes in the season finale at Miami on Sunday, but he's ending the season on a strong note having posted 20 or more points in his five appearances this month.
