Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against Detroit and is expected to play through left shoulder soreness. The 25-year-old has averaged 18.8 points, 1.4 three-pointers, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 27.5 minutes over his last five games and should continue handling significant usage with Immanuel Quickley (foot) sidelined. Barrett also delivered 24 points, three rebounds, three assists, and three steals in 27 minutes Sunday. Jamal Shead and Scottie Barnes should continue sharing playmaking duties, but Barrett remains a must-start option for points and secondary assists.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) will play in Sunday's contest against the Orlando Magic. He injured his left shoulder during Friday's win over New Orleans and was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. He was then upgraded to probable, and Toronto has now listed Barrett as available. Barrett has been sharp over his last 10 outings, averaging 20.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists, hitting nearly 52 percent of his field-goal attempts.

Trade talks regarding Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis have continued this week with a connection to the Toronto Raptors still developing. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the framework of a trade for Sabonis would revolve around Raptors guards RJ Barrett and Ochai Agbaji. The potential for a third team to join in on the trade may still be needed in order to help with the financial side of things. Sabonis is Sacramento's best remaining trade chip, though he's had a bit of a down season due to injury. The 29-year-old has consistently been linked to the Raptors this season and would be a great help to keep Toronto near the top of the Eastern Conference.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (ankle) will play on Friday against Portland. He's missed the last seven games because of a sprained ankle. While the former Duke Blue Devil will probably be limited in his first game back from the extended layoff, he'll return to his usual role in the starting lineup. Barrett was averaging 19.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists before going down with the injury, giving him upside for fantasy managers despite the chance of a reduced workload. With Barrett on the court, Jamal Shead will head back to the bench after logging 12.9 points and 7.6 dimes in seven appearances with the first five.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game in Portland, a step forward as he works toward a potential return. Barrett's availability directly impacts the backcourt rotation, as Jamal Shead would likely slide back to the second unit if Barrett plays. Shead has been productive lately, averaging 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in 31.8 minutes over his last five, though on a shaky 34.8 percent from the field. Fantasy managers should view Shead as a short-term standard-league option only if Barrett remains sidelined.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) is still not ready to return from a sprained left ankle, and he'll miss his seventh straight game on Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. Barrett still hasn't been given a timeline for his return, and he should be considered questionable for Friday's matchup with the Trail Blazers. With Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) also out of action, Jamal Shead and Grady Dick will continue to carry a heavier workload during tonight's clash.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) is still not ready to return from a sprained left ankle, and he'll miss his sixth straight game on Tuesday, when his team visits the Warriors. Barrett hasn't been given a concrete timeline, but he hasn't been able to return to practice yet either, so a return doesn't seem like it's coming soon. The Raptors play again on Wednesday against the Kings, which would be his next chance to return. With Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) also out, Jamal Shead and Grady Dick have been getting more work, with Ochai Agbaji also helping absorb more minutes on the wing. Those options will all stay busy on Tuesday against Golden State with Barrett still out.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) will not play Friday against the Clippers, extending his absence to a fourth straight game, with his next chance to return Sunday versus the Lakers. The fantasy impact continues to center on Jamal Shead, who has started each of the past three games and averaged 10.7 points and 6.0 assists despite shooting 34.5 percent from the field. Shead profiles as a short-term assist streamer rather than a scoring play. Barrett sitting again leaves more creation on Immanuel Quickley's plate and helps Shead maintain his minutes.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) won't be in action on Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers, missing a third consecutive game. With Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) also sidelined, Jamal Shead is likely to maintain a starting role on Wednesday night. Shead started both games of a recent back-to-back against the Philadelphia 76ers and had two very contrasting performances. He finished the first game on Sunday with 22 points but produced a three-point dud in Monday's loss. On Wednesday, Shead faces a more attractive fantasy matchup against a team that allows the third-most points in the Eastern Conference.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, missing a second consecutive game. Barrett sprained his left ankle last week, and it might take a while until he's ready to play again. With Toronto battling injuries, Jamal Shead has joined the starting five, and he made a big impact in Sunday's overtime win against Philadelphia, scoring 22 points and delivering six assists.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has been ruled out after injuring his left ankle in Friday's loss to the Boston Celtics. It's unfortunate to see Barrett back on the shelf, as he only recently returned from a knee injury. Scottie Barnes (knee) and Brandon Ingram (thumb) may also miss Sunday's game, so Immanuel Quickley must be ready to do some heavy lifting on the offensive end. Ja'Kobe Walter, Gradey Dick, and Ochai Agbaji could also have larger roles in the contest.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) was ruled out for the rest of Friday's game against Boston after logging 28 minutes. He finished with 19 points, four rebounds, and seven assists before exiting. Barrett's next chance to play comes Sunday versus Philadelphia. Toronto's injury list remains crowded, with Brandon Ingram (thumb), Scottie Barnes (knee), and Jakob Poeltl (back) sidelined. Immanuel Quickley stands to absorb primary usage after posting 17 points and 13 assists, while Ja'Kobe Walter, Jamal Shead, and Gradey Dick gain short-term fantasy appeal as streamers in expanded roles.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (knee) won't play in the second night of a back-to-back on Monday, following an extended absence with a knee sprain. The 25-year-old played just under 24 minutes on Sunday after missing the previous 15 games, scoring 12 points and grabbing seven rebounds. With fellow starter Jakob Poeltl (back) also sidelined, Ochai Agbaji and Sandro Mamukelashvili should pick up starts again when the Raptors host the Orlando Magic.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's encounter with the Golden State Warriors. After missing time because of a knee sprain, the Canadian star practiced fully on Friday and could return from a 15-game absence on Sunday afternoon. With Barrett returning, Ochai Agbaji will move back to the bench, and Ja'Kobe Walter may also see his role reduced. However, Barrett likely won't play his usual minutes in his first game back from injury and thus won't offer full fantasy value.

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (knee) will miss a 15th straight game on Friday night against the Washington Wizards. Barrett has been dealing with a right knee sprain that has coincided with a major decline in the Raptors' early season success. With Barrett out, expect Ochai Agbaji to continue to get minutes in the starting lineup. Agbaji has not provided much fantasy value in Barrett's absence and fantasy managers should look at other options regardless of the appealing matchup against the Wizards.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (knee) will be sidelined for a 12th consecutive game on Saturday against the Boston Celtics. Following a long absence due to a right knee sprain, Barrett began ramping up activities this week, but it looks like his return to the lineup won't come during the team's upcoming back-to-back set. Toronto wraps up the week on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. Several players have received increased opportunities during Barrett's absence, including Ochai Agbaji, who has made three consecutive starts. In these games, Agbaji has managed to score only 18 total points and grab 10 rebounds, making him a non-factor in fantasy basketball.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (knee) will remain out on Monday against the Miami Heat but is expected to return soon. According to Sportsnet's Blake Murphy, Barrett will begin "return-to-play" activities this week. The Canadian star has missed nine games due to a right knee sprain. He received a platelet-rich plasma injection for his knee last week. Jamal Shead has had a larger role in the rotation during Barrett's absence, averaging 8.6 points, 4.6 assists, and 2.4 steals across 24.4 minutes per game in December.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (knee) will be out for at least one more week, the team announced Monday. He is recovering from a right knee sprain and will need at least a week off after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection. Barrett will miss a ninth consecutive game on Tuesday night against the New York Knicks. During his absence, Ja'Kobe Walter has run with the starters. He has not performed well, even failing to make a single field goal over the past two games. In Sunday's loss to the Boston Celtics, Jamal Shead (quadriceps) started the second half instead of Walter. On Tuesday, Shead could be in the first unit right from the start, but he is currently considered questionable for the game with a quadriceps contusion.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (knee) has no structural damage in his right knee and will be re-evaluated in one week. The Canadian star hurt his knee in Sunday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed two contests due to the injury. Since Barrett's exit from the lineup, Ja'Kobe Walter's workload has significantly increased, and he started on Monday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Toronto went with Collin Murray-Boyles in the starting unit in Wednesday's win over the Indiana Pacers, but Walter still logged 32 minutes of action. He was more effective coming off the bench, scoring 13 points while picking up four rebounds and two steals.

Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports that Toronto Raptors forwardRJ Barrett(knee) won't play on Wednesday against Indiana. The former Knick sprained his left knee in Sunday's victory over the Brooklyn Nets and will miss his second straight game tomorrow evening. While Barrett is sidelined,Gradey DickandJamal Sheadmay benefit the most from extra playing time. However, both are risky fantasy picks sinceBrandon Ingram,Scottie Barnes, andImmanuel Quickley will likely absorb most of the available minutes during Barrett's absence.
