The surging Toronto Raptors had some bad injury luck on Sunday.
RJ Barrett was forced to leave Toronto's 119-109 win over the Brooklyn Nets with a right knee sprain in the third quarter. The team announced that the Canadian would not return to the game.
The Raptors announced after the game that Barrett will get imaging done on Monday.
Barrett appeared to suffer the injury when he came down awkwardly after a breakaway dunk with just over seven minutes left in the third. He exited the floor on the next whistle and headed straight to the team's locker room.
The Mississauga, Ont., native had 16 points in 20 minutes against the Nets before he had his night cut short.
Barrett came into the Nets game averaging 19.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.9 assists over 16 games this season.
He's been a key piece for a Raptors team that has started the season 12-5 and picked up a seventh straight win on Sunday.
