After today's loss to the Celtics, the Toronto Raptors are now 3-5 without RJ Barrett this season

If there's any positive to be found in this recent loss, they at least tried to make a comeback unlike their recent game against the Hornets, going from down 21 at one point in the 3rd to briefly retaking the lead in the 4th. Still, for many reasons (None of their other SGs have stepped up to fill the 20PPG hole he left, Darko's questionable decision to sub out the guys who made the comeback possible and only playing CMB for 2 minutes in the first half) the offense continues to struggle in his absence and the defense, while a little better without Barrett, has not been able to make up for the catastrophic fall to 29th in the NBA.

RJ Barrett's status ahead of the Cup Quarterfinals is unknown.
