Barrett rejoins Raptors roster as Barnes sustains injury | Globalnews.ca

The Toronto Raptors received some mixed news on the injury front as forward Scottie Barnes sustained a lower body injury during a recent game, while guard RJ Barrett has been cleared to rejoin the team after missing several games due to health and safety protocols.

Barnes, the fourth overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, has been a key contributor for the Raptors this season, averaging 14.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game. The rookie’s energetic play and defensive prowess have been a big part of Toronto’s success so far this season, and his absence will surely be felt on both ends of the court.

On the other hand, Barrett’s return to the lineup is a welcome development for the Raptors, as the third-year guard has been having a breakout season, averaging a career-high 18.5 points per game. Barrett’s scoring ability and improved three-point shooting have been crucial for Toronto’s offense, and his presence will provide a much-needed boost for the team as they look to maintain their position in the Eastern Conference standings.

While Barnes’ injury is certainly a setback for the Raptors, the team can take solace in the fact that Barrett is back in action and ready to contribute. With a deep roster and plenty of talent at their disposal, Toronto will look to weather the storm and continue their strong start to the season despite the challenges they may face along the way.
