TORONTO — RJ Barrett will be day-to-day for the Toronto Raptors as he recovers from a sprained right knee.

The native of Mississauga, Ont., will miss tonight’s game with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Barrett seemed to hurt himself in Toronto’s 119-109 win over the Brooklyn Nets last night when he landed awkwardly after a dunk in the third quarter.

He’s second on the Raptors with 19.4 points per game this season. He’s also averaging 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.

Second-year guard Ja’Kobe Walter was slotted into Toronto’s starting lineup in Barrett’s place.

Walter is averaging 4.4 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game this season.
