Right after securing their spot in the NBA Cup quarterfinals, the Toronto Raptors suffered a setback. The underrated star of that East Group, RJ Barrett abruptly exited the game against the Brooklyn Nets tonight. It was a close game at that point. The Raptors eventually announced he won’t return to finish the game.

The incident went down in the third quarter. The forward went for a dunk and seemingly landed wrong. He left the court with about seven minutes left in the quarter. The initial report said he hurt his knee.

The 25-year-old had played 20 minutes at this point. He tallied 16 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist before he was ruled out.

Remarkably, his last two points were a spectacle of their own. Barrett took a steal, ran coast to coast, and flew to the rim to dunk and put the Raptors up 65-72. The announcers noted he was limping right after while the play continued.

This is a developing story.
