The Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks have made a major multi-player trade.
Canadian guard RJ Barrett is set to play for the country's lone NBA team after a major trade between the Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks on Saturday.
Toronto dealt forwards OG Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa and guard Malachi Flynn to the Knicks in exchange for Barrett, from Mississauga, Ont., guard Immanuel Quickley and a second-round draft pick, sources told ESPN and The Athletic.
Anunoby, Achiuwa and Flynn were held out of the Raptors' road game against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday for undisclosed reasons.
A Raptors spokesperson declined to comment on the reported trade. A text-message left with Barrett was not immediately returned.
Toronto (12-19) entered play Saturday tied for 11th place in the NBA's Eastern Conference standings. The Knicks, who were scheduled to play in the evening at Indiana, were in seventh place at 17-14.
Anunoby is considered one of the best one-on-one defenders in the NBA. He has averaged 15.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and one steal per game this season.
Achiuwa and Flynn have come off the bench for Toronto this season. Achiuwa has averaged 7.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game while Flynn has averaged 5.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.
