Mystery Illness Unveiled: Will RJ Barrett’s Return Ignite the Raptors’ Dream Team Debut Tonight?

21

The Toronto Raptors may finally have their starting lineup ready as RJ Barrett, from Mississauga, Ontario, is currently listed as questionable for tonight’s game against the Orlando Magic. Barrett had missed the previous two matches due to an undisclosed illness. Should he return, Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic will have the opportunity to start Barrett alongside Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, Jakob Poeltl, and Gradey Dick—marking the first time this season that this lineup will take to the court together.

This lineup has not played together since March 2, when Barnes, who was Toronto’s only all-star last season, suffered a hand injury. Quickley recently participated in his fourth game of the season, contributing to a 130-113 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, which ended an 11-game losing streak for the Raptors.
