Toronto Raptors swingman Scottie Barnes will be sidelined at least one week with a sprained right ankle, the team confirmed Wednesday.
Barnes, 23, sustained the injury midway through the third quarter in Monday night’s 113-108 home loss to the New York Knicks. X-rays were negative and further imaging confirmed the diagnosis.
Barnes is averaging career highs of 20.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 7.4 assists in 14 games (all starts) this season. He has recorded seven double-doubles, including one triple-double.
The NBA Rookie of the Year in 2021-22 and a first-time All-Star last season, Barnes has averaged 16.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 225 games (224 starts) since the Raptors selected him with the No. 4 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
