FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE
Downgraded to out Barrett (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Won't play Tuesday Barrett (knee) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Bulls, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Barrett will miss a second consecutive game after experiencing knee swelling Sunday morning. The extent of the injury remains unclear, but his next chance to suit up will come Friday in Houston. Jakob Poeltl (ankle) is also out and Immanuel Quickley (quadriceps) is doubtful, so Scottie Barnes, Dennis Schroder and Gary Trent should lead Toronto's offense again, while Bruce Brown and Grady Dick handle increased minutes.

Officially ruled out Barrett (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Hawks, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact As expected, Barrett has been downgraded from doubtful to out after being a late addition to the injury report Sunday morning due to left knee swelling. Immanuel Quickley (quadricep) and Jakob Poeltl (ankle) are also out, so Scottie Barnes, Dennis Schroder and Gary Trent should lead Toronto's offense, while Bruce Brown and Gradey Dick are candidates for elevated usage.
JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Unlikely to play Sunday Barrett is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus Atlanta with left knee swelling, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Barrett wasn't revealed to be dealing with a health concern coming out of Friday's 127-107 loss to the Clippers and didn't appear on the Raptors' initial injury reports for Sunday's contests, so the knee swelling may be something that surfaced overnight. With Barrett on track to miss Sunday's contest and with Immanuel Quickley (quadricep) already ruled out for the game, the Raptors could lean more heavily on Scottie Barnes, Dennis Schroder and Gary Trent to anchor the offense. Bruce Brown and Gradey Dick could also see expanded supporting roles.

Impact The move back home to Toronto, as well as the subsequent Pascal Siakam trade, have put Barrett in a position to thrive.

Barrett has scored at least 20 points in seven of the last nine games as he quickly gets comfortable with his new team, averaging 22.7 points, 7.3 boards, 3.9 assists and 1.4 threes over that stretch while shooting 57.9 percent from the floor.

Barrett has scored in double digits in nine of 10 games since joining the Raptors, averaging 20.2 points, 6.9 boards, 3.6 assists and 1.7 threes over that stretch while shooting 54.7 percent from the floor.
