RJ Barrett Exits With Left Ankle Injury in Raptors’ Loss to Celtics

The swingman faces tests after a late-game roll, adding uncertainty for a Toronto roster already thinned by injuries.

Overview

  • Barrett turned his left ankle after stepping on Payton Pritchard’s foot in transition and went to the locker room, where he was ruled out for the rest of the game.
  • Before exiting, he logged 19 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds in roughly 28–30 minutes.
  • The Raptors said he sustained a left ankle injury and will undergo further evaluation, with no diagnosis or timetable announced.
  • Toronto fell 125–117 in Boston, and this was Barrett’s sixth game back after missing more than a month with a right knee injury.
  • The Raptors were already without Scottie Barnes (knee), Brandon Ingram (thumb) and Jakob Poeltl (back), and coach Darko Rajakovic said Barrett’s ankle would be evaluated this morning as the team awaits an update.
