The Toronto Raptors faced another challenging season, finishing 30-52 under head coach Darko Rajakovic. Despite the anticipated rise of Scottie Barnes, injuries plagued the roster, restricting key players like Barnes and Jamal Shead to limited appearances. Toronto struggled early, losing 12 of their first 14 games. A mid-season shake-up arrived with the acquisition of Brandon Ingram from the Pelicans, who was signed to a three-year extension despite his injury woes. This leaves the future of RJ Barrett uncertain as the Raptors navigate the complexities of their wing rotation.
