Toronto Raptors DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (pelvic) has been ruled out for the rest of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Quickley suffered what is being called a right pelvis contusion during the second quarter of this contest. The Raptors will hold him out for the second half of this game and will likely give more details after the game. He finished with 13 points and four assists across 14 minutes of play before exiting. Davion Mitchell started in the second half and would likely be asked to take on a bigger role if Quickley misses time. Mitchell has been inconsistent throughout his career, but could be a possible streaming option if Quickley is sidelined for multiple games.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. The former Duke Blue Devil suffered an AC joint sprain a few weeks ago and has been working his way back since. He was hoping to be ready for the opener. However, that won't happen. Fortunately, he's been increasing his activity level, so fantasy managers shouldn't shut the door regarding a potential return for upcoming meetings with Philadelphia, Minnesota, or Denver. But with Bruce Brown (knee) and Kelly Olynyk (back) ruled out, Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley should carry the load on the offensive end. There's also room for Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji to smash their projections for Wednesday evening.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) suffered an AC joint sprain on October 6 and has been out ever since. According to Michael Grange of Sportsnet, Barrett went through practice on Monday without contact and is targeting opening night for his return. They'll take on the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday for their season opener. If Barrett is unable to suit up, since rookie Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) and Bruce Brown (knee) are both out, Ochai Agbaji could step into a starting role with Gradey Dick receiving a lot more opportunities too.

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (thumb) has been cleared for contact and went through a full practice on Tuesday. The speedy guard is working his way back from a thumb injury he sustained before training camp. As a result of the injury, Quickley has missed all four of Toronto's preseason games. His status for the final preseason game on Friday versus Brooklyn will be determined by how Quickley feels after practicing the next couple of days. Missing the preseason certainly isn't ideal for Quickley, but he's set to be healthy for the start of the regular season, and that's the most important thing. The 25-year-old is gearing up for his first full campaign with the Raptors, and the expectations are high following Quickley's good spell he had with the team last term after arriving in a mid-season trade from New York.

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (personal) is expected to be on the court for Friday's preseason matchup against the Washington Wizards. Barnes missed the preseason opener due to personal reasons, but he has already returned to practice. This will be his first game action since suffering a season-ending hand injury in the beginning of March. The 23-year-old is hopeful to get back to the way he was playing last season. Barnes posted 19.9 points per game, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.0 assists which are all career highs for him. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect this hand injury to have lingering effects and Barnes should be ready to go for the season opener.
