RJ Barrett Won't Play Friday
9 months agoToronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (personal) is officially ruled out for Friday night's game against the Orlando Magic. Barrett will miss his fifth consecutive game to be with his family while mourning the death of his younger brother. Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic confirmed the 23-year-old is without a return timetable yet and has the franchise's full support. Barrett has been a fantasy asset since moving to Toronto, with averages of 20.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.0 assists on his current team. Bruce Brown benefits most by moving into the starting lineup, with Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, Jakob Poeltl, and Chris Boucher all being out as well. Gary Trent Jr., Kelly Olynyk, and Gradey Dick also have seen noteworthy usage increases since Barrett's last game.
