Raptors' RJ Barrett: Likely to sit out Wednesday

Raptors' forward RJ Barrett is likely to sit out Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks due to a left knee injury.

Barrett has been dealing with the injury for the past few weeks and has missed the Raptors' last two games. He is averaging 20.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game this season.

If Barrett sits out, it will be a big blow to the Raptors, who are already without Pascal Siakam (groin) and OG Anunoby (hip).

The Raptors are currently 22-31 on the season and are in 12th place in the Eastern Conference. They are 4.5 games behind the 10th-place Chicago Bulls for the final play-in spot.

The Raptors will be hoping to get Barrett back as soon as possible, but they will need to be careful not to rush him back too soon. The Raptors have a lot of important games coming up in the next few weeks, and they will need Barrett to be healthy and ready to go if they want to make a push for the playoffs.
