Darko Rajaković gives the first information about RJ Baret’s injury
Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett left late in the fourth quarter of Toronto’s 125–117 loss to the Boston Celtics after sustaining an injury to his left ankle. Barrett went down while handling the ball with just over four minutes remaining, appearing to roll his ankle after stepping on the foot of Sam Houser. They helped him off the field, he went to the locker room and didn’t come back. Before leaving, Barrett recorded 19 points and seven assists in 28 minutes.
“RJ just left the game with a twisted left ankle,” head coach Darko Rajaković he said after the game. “We’ll assess tomorrow morning and see how it is.”
Toronto is already dealing with multiple injuries, with Jakob Poeltl (back), Scotty Barnes (sprained right knee) and Brandon Ingram (sprained right thumb) out. Another potential absence would further test the Raptors, who remained competitive as a top-four team in the Eastern Conference at 23–16.
