Latest News about Rowan Alexander Barrett Jr.
HoopsHype reported that the Raptors had received trade inquiries about Barrett and that he had been included in multi-team trade conversations ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft and free agency. His expiring contract, which pays him about $29.6 million in 2026-27, was cited as a factor that could make him valuable in a trade.
Barrett said he wants to stay with the Raptors for the rest of his career, citing his Canadian roots. He became eligible for a contract extension during the offseason, and the team has said it intends to wait before starting serious negotiations.
The Toronto Raptors' 2025-26 season ended with a 114-102 Game 7 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Barrett had earlier hit a game-winner in Game 6 with 1.2 seconds left, which became one of the defining moments of Toronto's season. He had his best season as a Raptor, averaging 19.3 points per game in the regular season.
