Toronto Raptors swingman RJ Barrett will be sidelined for at least a week with a right knee sprain, the team announced Wednesday.
An MRI revealed no structural damage for Barrett, who sustained the injury on Sunday in the third quarter of Toronto’s 119-109 win against the Brooklyn Nets.
Barrett, 25, is averaging 19.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 17 games (all starts) for the Raptors, who take an eight-game winning streak into their Wednesday game against the visiting Indiana Pacers.
Barrett has averaged 18.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 404 games (403 starts) with the Knicks (2019-23) and Raptors since New York drafted him No. 3 overall in 2019.
