RJ Barrett News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Won't play Wednesday Barrett (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Barrett will take a seat for the second half of Toronto's back-to-back set after posting 23 points, four rebounds, four assists and a steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's loss to Indiana. He has only two more chances to suit up this season, and both games will be in Miami this weekend.

Leads Raps with 23 points Tuesday Barrett contributed 23 points (10-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 140-123 loss to the Pacers.

Impact After missing nine games due to personal reasons, Barrett has scored 20-plus points in each of his last four games. He's been efficient since his return, shooting 51.4 percent over those four contests. Barrett will continue to be the main option for the Raptors on offense as the regular season winds down.

Tallies 26 in victory Barrett racked up 26 points (8-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-11 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 117-111 win over the Bucks.

Impact Barrett returned from a nine-game absence on April 2, which was followed by an absence for rest purposes. He played 26 minutes in his original return and saw that bumped up to 34 in Friday's win. The 23-year-old has scored more than 20 points in eight of his last nine games for the Raptors.

Will play Friday Barrett (knee) will play Friday against the Bucks, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Barrett sat out the second leg of a back-to-back Wednesday, but he'll be back in action Friday night. However, he'll still likely have some minutes restrictions, so he's not the most attractive target in fantasy hoops.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Wednesday Barrett (knee) will miss Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Raptors will exercise caution with Barrett due to his troublesome left knee. Gary Trent has been cleared and could see heavy run, especially with Bruce Brown (knee) expected to sit out.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Leading scorer in return Barrett amassed a game-high 28 points (11-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 128-111 loss to the Lakers.

Impact The fifth-year forward had missed the last nine games to attend to a personal matter, but Barrett didn't miss a beat in his return, producing his best scoring performance since he dropped 29 points against the Grizzlies on Jan. 22. The Toronto native has had arguably the best run of his career since being traded to his hometown club from the Knicks, and he's averaged 21.1 points, 6.2 boards, 4.1 assists and 1.6 threes in 28 games for the Raptors while shooting an impressive 55.5 percent from the floor.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Gets green light Barrett (personal/conditioning) will play Tuesday against the Lakers, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact As expected, Barrett and Immanuel Quickley (personal/conditioning) have been upgraded from probable to available and will make their returns following multi-game absences. It'll be Barrett's first appearance since March 11, so he'll face limitations. However, he's expected to reclaim a spot in the starting lineup.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Will likely return Tuesday Barrett (personal)/conditioning) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Barrett and Immanuel Quickley (personal) are both expected to return from lengthy absences and should reclaim spots in the starting lineup. Before his absence, Barrett scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven appearances, averaging 22.9 points, 4.9 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 34.4 minutes during that stretch.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Sunday Barrett (personal/conditioning) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Barrett will miss a ninth straight game but is nearing a return to game action and just needs to reach the final stages of re-conditioning after his time away from the team. With Ochai Agbaji (hip) also out, Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora and Jalen McDaniels are candidates for increased playing time. Barrett's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday versus the Lakers.

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Barrett (conditioning) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup with the 76ers, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Impact Barrett has been sidelined for the last eight games due to a personal situation. Although he rejoined the team earlier in the week, he has not suited up, as he continues to get his conditioning back up to par. If he does ultimately get the green light Sunday, Toronto could still opt to ease him back into the swing of things. The forward had averaged 20.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 33.7 minutes per game over 27 appearances with the Raptors since being acquired from the Knicks in late December.

Will not play Wednesday Barrett (personal/conditioning) will be inactive for Wednesday's game against the Knicks , Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Barrett and Immanuel Quickley (personal) have both been ruled out for Wednesday's contest. Barrett has been sidelined since March 11, but Toronto having until Sunday for his next opportunity to take the court is a substantial ramp up period. Barrett will certainly not be rushed back after dealing with the family tragedy, but he will likely reprise duties as a central figure in Toronto's rotation upon his return. Barrett had averaged 22.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists while burying 58.0 percent of 16.0 shots in 34.4 minutes per game across his last seven appearances.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Barrett (personal) is regarded as day-to-day with a chance to return to action Tuesday against the Knicks, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Barrett and Immanuel Quickley (personal) both continue ramping up in preparation for imminent returns. Sunday against Philadelphia would represent Barrett's next chance to take the court if he's deemed unavailable Wednesday.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Closing in on return Barrett (personal) was listed out for Monday's game against the Nets due to "return to competitive conditioning", Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Barrett has been away from the Raptors over the last week and a half following a family tragedy, but he was spotted in the locker room Monday and appears to be getting back into playing shape. The Duke product hasn't taken the court since March 11, so he'll likely need at least a few days to ramp up his basketball activities.
