Published
Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett will miss Wednesday's season opener against the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers with a shoulder injury suffered during the preseason.
Barrett, 24, was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday, but hasn't been cleared for contact.
The Mississauga, Ont., native averaged 21.8 points on 55.3 per cent shooting in 32 games as a Raptor last season after coming over in a mid-season deal with the New York Knicks.
Kelly Olynyk, Ja’Kobe Walter and Bruce Brown will miss Wednesday's game against the Cavs as well.
