Barrett amassed 29 points (11-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 134-117 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Barrett, Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes combined for 78 points during Saturday's win. Barrett logged a season high in points while connecting on four three-pointers for the first time since Nov. 4 against the Bucks. The seventh-year forward continues to work his way back from a right knee injury that caused him to miss 15 straight games, but the fact he was able to play 30 minutes is an encouraging sign. Barrett will look to replicate his performance in Monday's rematch against Atlanta.

Head coach Darko Rajakovic said that Barrett will be limited to "a little more than 24" minutes in Saturday's game against the Hawks, Chelsea Leite of Raptors HQ reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors will continue to ease Barrett back into things after a lengthy rehab from his right knee injury. The 25-year-old forward has averaged 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 24.0 minutes per game over two appearances following the extended absence.

Barrett (knee) will remain on an unspecified minutes restriction in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing 15 straight games due to a right knee sprain, Barrett returned to action in Sunday's win over Golden State, recording 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 24 minutes. He sat out Monday's win over the Magic but will return to action Wednesday, though his minutes will be monitored.

Barrett (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
After missing Monday's game for rest purposes, Barrett is no longer appearing on the injury report. His minutes will likely keep rising as long as his knee continues to respond well.

Barrett won't play Monday against the Magic due to right knee sprain injury management, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so Barrett will get a breather after he returned to action Sunday following a 15-game absence. During the Raptors' 141-127 overtime win over the Warriors, Barrett had 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 24 minutes. Ja'Kobe Walter, Ochai Agbaji and Gradey Dick could all see extra playing time Monday with Barrett out of the picture.

Barrett (knee) tallied 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 24 minutes Sunday in the Raptors' 141-127 overtime win over the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Suiting up for the first time since Nov. 23 after missing Toronto's previous 15 games due to a right knee sprain, Barrett took back his spot in the starting five but was on a minute restriction. Barrett was able to fill out three categories nicely during his return to the court, though his production was weighted down by poor shooting from the field and the free-throw line. Assuming Barrett experienced no setbacks coming out of Sunday's contest, he should be in line for a bump in minutes his next time out. The Raptors could elect to hold him out for rest purposes Monday against the Magic in the second leg of a back-to-back set, in which case Barrett's next appearance would come Wednesday versus the Nuggets.

Barrett (knee) will play under a minutes restriction Sunday against Golden State, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barrett will return from a 15-game absence due to a sprained right knee. Given the lengthy absence, Barrett will have his minutes monitored Sunday, though it's unclear exactly how many minutes he'll be limited to. The 25-year-old wing is averaging 19.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists across 30.9 minutes per game this season. Per Jacob, Barrett is part of Sunday's starting lineup.

Barrett (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Barrett hasn't played since Nov. 23 due to a sprained right knee but is now considered day-to-day and could return as soon as Sunday. The 25-year-old forward will likely operate under a minutes restriction whenever he's cleared to play, though his potential return would still leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Ochai Agbaji and Ja'Kobe Walter.

Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic told reporters Friday that Barrett (knee) has been progressing "really well" and is considered day-to-day moving forward, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barrett was recently cleared to return to on-court activities and was cleared to engage in full contact during Friday's practice. He won't play against the Wizards on Friday, but he seemingly has a shot at making his return against the Warriors on Sunday. Barrett has not played since Nov. 23 due to a sprained right knee, and his return would likely result in Ochai Agbaji reverting to a rotational role off the bench.

Barrett (knee) has been cleared to participate in on-court activities, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a significant step in Barrett's recovery from a right knee sprain that he sustained in late November. The next step is for Barrett to participate in live work against coaches. After that, he'll return to practice and eventually participate in live scrimmages. It's uncertain how quickly he'll be able to advance through these final hurdles, but a December return may not be feasible.
