RJ Barrett News: Will play Friday

Barrett (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Kayla Grey of TSN reports.

Barrett will shed his questionable tag and return from a seven-game absence due to a sprained left ankle. It's unclear if the 25-year-old swingman will operate under a minutes restriction, though it wouldn't be surprising after the extended absence. Still, fewer minutes will be available for Jamal Shead, Ochai Agbaji and Gradey Dick.
