He has missed eight games and will sit out at least two more this week before he&#8217;s re-evaluated. The seventh-year player is averaging 19.4 points per game, third-highest on the team but actually his lowest mark since the 2020-21 season. Barrett, though, is off to a career-best 50.6% shooting rate from the floor.<\/p>\n<p>The Raptors (15-10), who have lost five of their last six games, host New York in the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup in-season tournament on Tuesday. If they win, they&#8217;ll play in the semifinals on Saturday.
