RJ Barrett

Barrett is not on the injury report right now. He was held out of the October 16 game against Detroit as day-to-day with a designation of rest and other, then cleared the next day, October 17. There is no indication of a lingering issue beyond that one missed game.

In 2025-26, Barrett played 57 games for Toronto and averaged 19.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 30.3 minutes. He added 0.7 steals, 0.3 blocks and 1.7 turnovers per game. He shot 49.1 percent from the field, 33.9 percent from three and 71.7 percent from the line, with a true shooting mark of 58.5 percent. His usage rate sat at 25.4 percent, and the Raptors were plus-2.9 with him on the floor.

Barrett was a steady presence in Toronto's playoff series against Cleveland last season. He opened with 33 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a win on April 23, then had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist in a win on April 26. Cleveland won Game 3 on April 29 despite Barrett's 25 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists. Toronto answered with a win on May 1 behind 24 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists from Barrett, before Cleveland closed it out on May 3 as Barrett finished with 23 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

Contract buzz around Barrett has stayed quiet. A report dated September 30 said the Raptors have not held serious talks regarding a Barrett extension. Days earlier, on September 22, Barrett's name surfaced in a broader Atlantic Division notes piece alongside the Raptors, Sixers and Knicks. Nothing beyond those reports has been attributed to a specific source, and no deal talks have been described as advanced.

Barrett, 26, is in his seventh NBA season and wears No. 9 for Toronto at forward-guard. Listed at 6-6 and 214 pounds out of Duke, he's coming off a season in which he averaged 19.3 points and carried a 25.4 usage rate across 57 games. With no extension talks reported yet and a clean health status entering this stretch, his workload and shot-making will keep drawing attention as the Raptors sort out his long-term fit.
