In this story:

The Toronto Raptors will be giving RJ Barrett the night off.

Barrett returned from a personal absence Tuesday night but will be sidelined Wednesday on the second night of a back-to-back with left knee "maintenance," the Raptors announced. It likely will be a one-game absence for Barrett.

Toronto continues to be without Ochai Agbaji who is dealing with a right hip injury he suffered last week. The injury is not believed to be too serious, but Agbaji remains sidelined.

Bruce Brown Jr. is listed as doubtful to play with right knee soreness after he had to exit Tuesday's game early with the injury. It's unclear how much time he'll be forced to miss with the injury.

Toronto will have Gary Trent Jr. back following a one-game absence for "rest." He is no longer on the injury report despite what appeared to be a knee injury he suffered on Sunday.

It looks like Immanuel Quickley came out of Tuesday's game without any issues and will be set to play Wednesday. He had missed six games for a family matter before returning to take on the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Raptors have ruled out Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl, Chris Boucher, DJ Carton, and Jontay Porter as well.

Malik Williams has officially been signed by the organization and should be available off the bench for Toronto as the team's backup center behind Kelly Olynyk.

The Timberwolves have yet to share their injury report for Wednesday. Karl-Anthony Towns is expected to be ruled out as he continues to work his way back from a meniscus injury.
