Canadian swingman RJ Barrett will miss the rest of Toronto’s pre-season with a sprained right shoulder sustained in the Raptors’ 125-98 exhibition victory over the Washington Wizards on Sunday. Head coach Darko Rajakovic said that although Barrett won’t be able to play in Toronto’s four remaining pre-season games, he’ll still be busy.

We put in some work together where we worked on our stuff, so I imagine it’s going to come back quickly.”
