From the box score to the basketball court, RJ Barrett’s game has transcended to new heights since returning home to play for the Toronto Raptors. With a head of steam built up and a left-handed drive in play, Barrett introduces the Oklahoma City Thunder’s defense to a nightmare scenario, gathering his step before charging through the air for a violent one-handed throwdown in traffic. Working his way back from a three-game absence, neither a knee injury nor the fatigue of a double overtime slugfest could keep the explosive fifth-year forward under wraps. Despite falling just shy in the battle against the Oklahoma City Thunder on February 4, 2024, Barrett continued his efficient ways, putting in 23 points, seven rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers. · Feb 5, 2024
