Barrett’s status was questionable heading into the game, but will play on an unspecified minutes restriction. He was upgraded Saturday for the first time since he sustained a right knee sprain on Nov. 23. He received a platelet-rich plasma injection two weeks ago and has been participating in return-to-play activities.
The Mississauga, Ont., native had a strong start to his season before the injury, averaging 19.4 points on a career-high 60.4 true shooting percentage, adding 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists over 17 games.
The Raptors have struggled with Barrett out, going 6-9 after starting the season 12-5.
