Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (rest) won't play on Friday against Charlotte. The former Knick has played well this season, averaging 21.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists. However, he's appeared in only 54 games, missing time for various reasons. The Raptors are still in the hunt for a Play-In spot, although time is running out for the team to make a late-season surge. At any rate, his absence should mean Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl, and Immanuel Quickley will see a few more scoring tries. Jamison Battle, averaging 10.4 points in five starts during the 2024-25 campaign, should continue to fill the void in the rotation.
Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (rest) will be out of the lineup for a third straight game on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Barrett has missed a pair of games due to an illness and will be rested on Thursday night. His absence has created more scoring opportunities for Immanuel Quickley and Scottie Barnes. Meanwhile, Jamison Battle has taken on a starting role. Battle has not been comfortable in the role on the offensive end, shooting only 31.9 percent from the field. He has averaged 10.3 points and 4.8 rebounds since moving to the first unit.
Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports that Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (illness) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns. Barrett is dealing with an illness that will keep him out for the second consecutive contest. His absence would probably mean more action for Jamison Battle, A.J. Lawson, and Jamal Shead. Lawson is the best streaming option between the three, but Battle might offer some low-end value as he's played over 30 minutes in two of the last three games.
Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Barrett appears to be dealing with a minor illness, so the team is going to wait and see how he feels on Sunday before making a final decision. Barrett looked a bit sluggish on Friday when he finished with 17 points and five assists across 25 minutes of action. His absence would probably mean more playing time for Jamison Battle, A.J. Lawson, and Jamal Shead. Between the three, Lawson is the best streaming option, but Battle might offer some low-end value because he has been playing big minutes over the last two games.
RJ Barrett Drops Out Of Raptors Lineup For Personal Reasons
Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will miss his second game of the month for personal reasons. Barrett is among seven Raptors players who have been ruled out for the contest, and the list could potentially grow before tip-off. A.J. Lawson exploded for a career-high 32 points on Monday against the Washington Wizards and might be a key offensive cog again Wednesday night. The likes of Jamal Shead and Jared Rhoden are also set to be more involved in the rotation.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (rest) will not play in Friday's contest against the Utah Jazz. Toronto opens a back-to-back set on Friday and Barrett will be rested for the first leg. He will presumably be brought back into the lineup for the second game on Saturday against the Washington Wizards. Barrett's absence could give a further boost to Ja'Kobe Walter, who has already benefited from Gradey Dick's (knee) health issues. Jamison Battle may also get meaningful action in Friday's game.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (concussion) will return to the court on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is back in the lineup after missing five games due to a concussion. Barrett has delivered consistent fantasy value throughout the campaign but may need some time to get back to his best after missing nearly two weeks of action. His return will likely push Ochai Agbaji to the bench, which takes away most of his fantasy appeal.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (concussion) will not play in Tuesday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. He remains in concussion protocol, missing a fifth consecutive game. Ochai Agbaji and Ja'Kobe Walter have taken turns starting during Barrett's absence. Both players have performed well, but Walter tends to be more consistent. He averages 11.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.4 steals for the month. Agbaji has contributed 10.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.2 steals across five February contests. Barrett's absence also gives Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley more scoring chances.
Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (concussion) has been ruled out for the third consecutive game while he remains in concussion protocol on Friday. After a couple of trades, the Raptors should have quite the mix of players in their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Immanuel Quickley is off of the injury report while Jamal Shead, Gradey Dick, and Ja'Kobe Walter should all continue to see opportunities. Since Quickley is widely rostered, the other three are better streaming options. In their last game, Dick finished with 13 points and seven rebounds, Shead had 14 points and four assists, while Walter had 14 points, three rebounds, and three assists.
Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (concussion) won't play in Wednesday's game against Memphis. The former Duke Blue Devil wasn't available for Tuesday's matchup versus the Knicks, his former team. As a result, Ja'Kobe Walter remained in the starting lineup, finishing with 13 points in 29 minutes. With Jakob Poeltl (hip) and Immanuel Quickley (hip) also out, Walter's ceiling is higher than normal. The same is true for Gradey Dick, Scottie Barnes, and Bruce Brown.
