RJ Barrett News: Quiet in return

Barrett (ankle) accumulated 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 21 minutes during Friday's 110-98 victory over Portland.

Barrett returned from a seven-game absence due to a sprained left ankle, turning in a quiet, yet serviceable performance. After a strong start to the season, Barrett has struggled to stay healthy but has remained productive in the counting categories when he's been able to suit up. Despite being limited to just seven appearances since Nov. 23, Barrett has averaged 18.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 0.6 steals in 27.6 minutes per contest during that stretch.
