Daily News | What the Raptors lose with Scottie Barnes sidelined for Game 2 against the Sixers
As expected, the Toronto Raptors will be without their most versatile player Monday night against the 76ers.. Barnes donned a huge walking boot on his left foot at the Raptors’ morning shootaround at the Wells Fargo Center.Meanwhile, teammates Gary Trent Jr. and Thad Young remain listed as doubtful for Game 2 of the first-round series. Trent didn’t attend the morning shootaround, while Young had his left thumb wrapped.
“I’m still a very positive, happy human being,” Barnes said. “I’m just taking it one day at a time. God got me. So I’m still happy.” The Sixers hold a 1-0 series advantage heading into Game 2. Game 3 of the series will be Wednesday night at Scotiabank in Toronto. Afterward, the teams will have two days off before playing Game 4 on Saturday at Scotiabank.“I don’t know,” he said. “It might be soon. We will have to see. I don’t know. It’s feeling better, though, each and every day.”after Joel Embiid stepped on his right foot. The Raptors rookie sprained his ankle on the play but X-rays were negative.
In addition to starting in the post, Barnes is the backup point guard. He started several games this season at the point while All-Star Fred VanVleet was sidelined with an injury. The Rookie of the Year finalist averaged 15.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists this season. “He brings us offensively a bit of handling, point guard abilities, scoring at the rim, put-back abilities, and he’s a versatile defender,” coach Nick Nurse said, explaining what the Raptors lose with Barnes sidelined. “So that may put us into a lot more coverages and things on defense rather than having so much flexibility to switch.”
