Playing with tonsillitis Barnes had seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven assists and three rebounds across 21 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 93-64 victory over Boston College.
Impact According to Curt Weiler of the Tallahassee Democrat, Barnes had been battling tonsillitis and was not a lock to play in this contest. The freshman ended up lacing up and having a strong day on the distributing end, and he's now averaging 5.2 apg over his last nine contests. It's unclear if the recent ailment will affect his availability Saturday against Notre Dame.

Plays 22 minutes in return Barnes posted 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two steals and a block across 22 minutes off the bench in Monday's win at Louisville.
Impact Barnes missed the Jan. 16 contest against North Carolina, but he returned Monday and delivered his third straight game with 10 or more points, a feat he's already achieved in five of his nine appearances to date. Given the fact he was a starter in all but two of his previous games, it wouldn't be surprising if he moves back to the starting five ahead of Saturday's matchup against Clemson.

Not starting Monday Barnes (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Louisville, Shannon Russell of The Athletic reports.
Impact Barnes has been dealing with an ankle injury for the last couple weeks. It's not clear if he will indeed play or not Monday, but if he does it appears it will be in a limited role off the bench. If he can't go Monday, his next chance to suit up would be Saturday against Clemson.

Won't play Saturday Barnes (ankle) will be unavailable for Saturday's game against UNC, Chris Nee of 247sports.com reports.
Impact Barnes rolled his ankle in the second half of Wednesday's game against NC State and subsequently won't be able to suit up for Saturday's contest. The 6-9 freshman was seen participating in some stretching Saturday but was off to the side while the team was going through shoot-around. Barnes is second on the team in scoring while averaging 11.1 points per game and likely will cede his spot in the starting lineup to RayQuan Evans for a second straight game.

Status cloudy versus UNC Coach Leonard Hamilton indicated Friday he doesn't know the status of Barnes (ankle) leading up to Saturday's clash with North Carolina, Chris Nee of 247Sports reports.
Impact Barnes suffered an ankle injury during the second half of Wednesday's game versus North Carolina, limiting him to a season-low 13 minutes in his first bench appearance of the season. The freshman still managed to rack up 11 points in his short window -- just his fourth-double digit effort of the season -- and could be a key piece versus the Tar Heels on Saturday, regardless of his role, if cleared to play.

Impact Barnes was already a subject of interest leading up to this game, as he was mysteriously held out of the starting five and seen riding a stationary bike at tipoff. The freshman ultimately entered the game and was effective in his brief stretch, recording 11 points, three rebounds and three assists in just 13 minutes of action. Barnes' limited run wasn't an issue in Wednesday's 32-point blowout, but he'll definitely be needed in upcoming showdowns with UNC (Jan. 16) and Louisville (Jan. 18).

Enters Wednesday's game Barnes came off the bench early in Wednesday's ACC matchup against NC State, Curt Weiler of the Tallahassee Democrat reports.
Impact Barnes was left out of the starting five and spotted riding a stationary bike on the side prior to tipoff, but it looks like the freshman will give it a go. He racked up an assist on a cross-court pass on one of his first possessions, so a regular day of production remains a possibility.

Riding bike on side Barnes was spotted riding a stationary bike prior to Wednesday's matchup against NC State, Curt Weiler of the Tallahassee Democrat reports.
Impact Barnes was left out of the starting five for the first time this season in favor of RayQuan Evans, and his presence on the bike may suggest a possible lower body injury is in play. It's unclear if the freshman is simply staying loose, or whether he'll ultimately try to give it a go.

Not starting against Wolfpack Barnes is not in the starting five Wednesday against NC State.
Impact No word of an injury has yet surfaced, so this lineup is a bit unique considering Barnes has started the last seven games for Florida State. He logged 29 minutes back on Dec. 29 against Clemson, posting 14 points, five assists and four rebounds. RayQyan Evans will start in his stead for the ACC matchup.

Impact Barnes paced the Seminoles in the loss and, in fact, he was just one of two players that reached the 10-point mark in a game where Florida State's offense sputtered -- they only shot 41.9 percent from the field and 28.1 percent from three-point range as a team. Barnes has scored 14 or more points in three of his last five games as well.

Impact Barnes was one of four starters that scored at least 10 points but, in fact, he has surpassed the 15-point plateau in each of his last two contests. He seems to have bounced back from a slow start to the campaign and will try to extend his good run of form Saturday against Central Florida.
