On Friday evening, the Toronto Raptors will play their second game of the season when they host the Philadelphia 76ers in Canada.

For the game, they will likely be without one of their best players, as former Duke star RJ Barrett is doubtful.

Barrett also missed the team's first game, so this would be his second straight out of the starting lineup.

Via Alex Seixeiro of 680 NewsRadio Toronto, 570 on Thursday: "RJ Barrett (shoulder) and Immanuel Quickley (pelvic) are doubtful for Raptors/76'ers tomorrow at Scotiabank Arena. Kelly Olynyk (back) and Bruce Brown (knee) remain out."
