Barrett played only the first half of Wednesday's win over the Hornets, knocking down three three-pointers. The 24-year-old's absence in the second half was likely precautionary, as the Raptors have been easing the workload of their starters with the season winding down.

Rotowire
Barrett (rest) doesn't appear on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.
As expected, Barrett will be back in action for Thursday after resting in Tuesday's 137-118 loss to the Bulls, but head coach Darko Rajakovic could continue to hold the 24-year-old under 30 minutes as the Raptors look to limit the workloads of their top players as the season winds down. Thursday's game marks the front end of a back-to-back set, so Barrett will most likely be rested in Friday's game against the Pistons.

Raptors' RJ Barrett: Struggles from downtown in return
Rotowire
Barrett (rest) accumulated 18 points (8-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 123-89 loss to the Spurs.
After missing two games due to an illness and a third for rest purposes, Barrett returned to action Sunday but struggled to shoot the ball from three-point land. His high turnover rate, poor free-throw shooting and lack of contributions in the defensive categories severely restrict his overall fantasy appeal in nine-category settings, but the swingman should remain a strong producer in points leagues when available for the rebuilding Raptors in the final weeks of 2024-25. Across his last 11 appearances, Barrett has averaged 20.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 31.8 minutes per contest.
