Scottie Barnes Questionable for Raptors’ Game Against Nets on December 19th with Ankle Injury
Scottie Barnes of the Toronto Raptors is dealing with a right ankle sprain. This injury has put his participation in the upcoming game against the Brooklyn Nets on December 19th in question. Barnes has been listed as questionable, and it remains uncertain if he will be able to play.
What It Means
If Scottie Barnes misses the game, it will impact the Raptors significantly. He has been a key player, averaging 20.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game this season. His shooting accuracy stands at 46.1% from the field and 31.0% from beyond the arc.
