Raptors’ Barrett, Agbaji out for rest against Bulls

The Toronto Raptors will continue their pattern of resting players on Tuesday.

RJ Barrett and Ochai Agbaji will both rest against the Chicago Bulls, joining injured teammates Gradey Dick, Brandon Ingram and Ulrich Chomche on the sidelines.

Two-way player Jared Rhoden is questionable with a finger joint injury. Rhoden has seven games of NBA eligibility remaining on his two-way contract, the same number of games the Raptors have remaining in the season.

Both the resting 24-year-olds are having career-best seasons. Barrett is averaging 21.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.6 assists — all career-highs — in 55 games.

Agbaji is averaging career-highs of 10 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 60 games.

With Tuesday’s absence, Barrett will have missed eight of the Raptors’ last 16 games dating back to March 1.
