RJ Barrett Hopeful for Return This Week After Missing Seventh Game

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (ankle) will miss his seventh consecutive game Wednesday against the Kings. However, he is hopeful to return during the team's current road trip, potentially playing Friday in Portland or Sunday in Oklahoma City, as reported by Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca. His return would mean fewer minutes for Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji. Barrett remains without an official timetable but is trending towards an imminent return.
