The circumstances surrounding his death have left many questioning and seeking answers. Join us as we delve into the mystery surrounding Nathan Barrett’s untimely demise, shedding light on the unknown and exploring the lingering questions that surround this heartbreaking loss.
What Happened To Nathan Barrett?
Nathan Barrett, younger brother of RJ Barrett, who used to play for the New York Knicks and now plays for the Toronto Raptors, has died. Chris Stewart, who used to coach him in basketball when he was younger, posted the sad news on Instagram on Thursday. It is unknown how old the younger Barrett was or what caused his death.
“Nathan was only with us for a short time in grade 7 before he moved to Florida but whenever he was back in Mississauga the boys connected,” he said. “I saw Nathan last summer, all grown up, with a big smile and he was excited telling me how he was starting school to become a pilot.”
RJ Barrett, a forward for the Toronto Raptors, will likely miss his second straight game because his younger brother Nathan died on Tuesday. He was in the middle school.
A day before, RJ Barrett almost had a triple-double in a 125-119 loss to the Denver Nuggets. He scored 26 points, had nine assists, and grabbed seven boards. RJ Barrett did not play in the 113–104 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, which was the last game of a four-game road trip.
A lot of people in the basketball community sent their condolences to the Barrett family such as Mark J. Spears posted the Raptors statement on behalf of the Barrett Family and Let’s Talk Knicks paid a heartfelt tribute to him on Twitter.
RJ Barrett Could Be Out From The Raptors For Few Games
RJ Barrett, who was moved from the New York Knicks to the Toronto Raptors in late December, became the star of the show right away. He was born in Toronto and plays for the Canadian national team like his father, Rowan.
The Raptors, on the other hand, have lost five straight games and are now 6.5 games behind the teams chasing the last play-in spot with 16 games left in the regular season. That means they’re pretty much out of the playoffs.
After his younger brother Nathan died on Wednesday, the Raptors forward took time off. Reports say that RJ will also miss their next game on Friday against the Orlando Magic. RJ Barrett could also miss more time.
No matter what, Barrett has shown a lot of promise as the star of his team. He scores 20.8 points, grabs 6.2 rebounds, and gives out 4.0 assists per game as a Raptor.
Barrett has also been good at hitting the ball for Toronto. His overall shooting percentage is 55.1% and his percentage from deep is 41.7%. Barrett is only 23 years old, so he still has a lot of room to grow. If the Raptors give him a good team in the coming years, he could become a star.
