Halftime: Raptors 61, Sixers 49.
Sixers got a quick burst from Lonnie Walker IV down the stretch in that half, and Ricky Council IV looked pretty good for much of his time on the floor. RJ Barrett has 19-5-4 to lead the way for Toronto. – 8:35 PM

Michael Grange: Raptors could be in tough vs. Wiz (tank wise) as Barrett (rest), Boucher (out w/ illness, but who hasn’t played in a month) and Dick (knee bruise) are only regulars out. Wizards w/o Kispert and Carrington, but Middleton and Smart available. -via Twitter @michaelgrange / March 24, 2025
RJ Barrett was discussed in trade talks for Brandon Ingram with New Orleans, but the Pelicans preferred the expiring contract of Bruce Brown and stretch-five center Kelly Olynyk, who’s owed $13.45 million next season, league sources told HoopsHype. With Trey Murphy III and Herb Jones already on the wing, the Pelicans didn’t view Barrett as a suitable fit for their roster as talks would have necessitated finding a third team, sources said. -via HoopsHype / March 3, 2025
