Dec 8, 2025 | 10:24 AM

TORONTO — Canadian swingman RJ Barrett isn’t returning to the Toronto Raptors lineup for at least a week.

Barrett has been out with a right-knee sprain since Nov. 23.

The Raptors say Barrett has been treated with a platelet-rich plasma injection, and his condition will be updated in a week.

Barrett, from Mississauga, Ont., was averaging 19.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 30.9 minutes in 17 starts this season before getting hurt.

Toronto has a 3-5 record since Barrett hurt himself landing awkwardly after a dunk in a 119-109 win over the Brooklyn Nets.
