"Barrett turned his left ankle after stepping on Celtics guard Payton Pritchard's foot in transition. After screaming out in pain, he limped immediately to the locker room, where further evaluation was conducted. The 25-year-old finished with 19 points, seven assists, and four rebounds on 6-for-15 shooting from the field in 28 minutes before being ruled out. The Mississauga, Ont. native was in just his sixth game back after missing more than a month with a right knee injury."
"On the season, Barrett is averaging 19.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.5 assists while shooting 50.0 per cent from the field and 34.5 per cent from distance. Barrett now joins starters in forwards Brandon Ingram (thumb), Scottie Barnes (knee), and Jakob Poeltl (back) on the mend. Both Barnes and Ingram were injured in the Raptors' narrow 97-96 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Barnes sustained a right knee sprain in the fourth quarter after landing awkwardly while contesting a shot."
