RJ Barrett’s MRI results prompt a sigh of relief over knee injury
Toronto Raptors swingman RJ Barrett underwent his MRI injured right kneewho discovered no structural damagethe team announced Wednesday morning. Barrett was diagnosed with a sprain and will be re-evaluated in seven days.
This is certainly good news for the Raptors and the 25-year-old, as Barrett’s injury caused considerable concern when it first occurred.
With 7:34 left in the third quarter against the Brooklyn Nets on Nov. 23, Barrett intercepted a pass and went down the other end for an easy dunk. After landing, Barrett immediately jerked up and appeared to be crippled by some sort of injury to his right leg.
The Raptors won the game 110-99, their eighth straight, but Barrett limped to the bench immediately after the dunk and did not return to the contest. Soon after the injury occurred, the Raptors ruled Barrett out with a sprained right knee and said he would undergo further imaging.
Barrett will now be sidelined until the end of November and will miss at least the next four games on Toronto’s schedule. He will be re-evaluated on Wednesday, December 3.
This story will be updated soon.
