Raptors' RJ Barrett: Team-high 23 points in victory
Rotowire
Barrett totaled 23 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes in Canada's 86-79 win over Greece in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
Barrett was automatic from the field Saturday, and he came in clutch alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as Canada began their Olympic campaign with a win. The 24-year-old led Canada in scoring, and he will likely serve as one of the squad's top options offensively as Gilgeous-Alexander has already seen defenses swarm him despite a 21-point performance of his own Saturday. Furthermore, Barrett is getting a heavy dose of minutes as well as the opportunity to display his talents, coming in behind only Giannis Antetokounmpo in playing time in the match.

Raptors' Ochai Agbaji: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Agbaji has been ruled out for Sunday's Summer League finale against the Spurs due to a right shin contusion, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
Agbaji appeared in Toronto's first four games during the Las Vegas Summer League but will sit out the finale. He averaged 6.0 points and 4.8 assists in 23.2 minutes per game over his four appearances.
Walter notched five points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) with two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Saturday's 94-69 Summer League win over the Thunder.
Walter was the Big 12 Freshman of the Year while at Baylor before being selected by the Raptors with the No. 19 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Walter's three-point shooting will be his calling card in the NBA, but he couldn't find his shot Saturday. With the Raptors undergoing a rebuild, the rookie could potentially carve out a decent role as the season progresses.
