Raptors Reveal Results of Further Testing for Scottie Barnes The Toronto Raptors say Scottie Barnes will not need surgery to repair his fractured right orbital bone

NOVEMBER 5 • SI.COM

Won't require surgery Barnes, who has already been ruled out for an extended period of time due to an orbital fracture, will not require surgery, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The All-Star sustained the injury after an elbow to the face from Nikola Jokic in the fourth quarter of last Monday's overtime loss to the Nuggets, during which Barnes posted 21 points (9-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists, five steals and a block across 35 minutes. The 23-year-old is still expected to miss significant time, meaning Chris Boucher and Ochai Agbaji will likely continue to handle an increased workload.

Set to see specialist Monday Barnes, who has already been ruled out for around the next three weeks due to an orbital fracture, will see a specialist Monday, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The All-Star sustained the injury after an elbow to the face from Nikola Jokic in the fourth quarter of Monday's overtime loss to the Nuggets. Barnes is already expected to miss significant time, and the trip to the doctor could determine whether surgery is necessary, as well as what his treatment plan looks like. In the meantime, expect Ochai Agbaji and Jonathan Mogbo to pick up extra minutes.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes (orbital fracture) out at least 3 weeks | NBA.com Toronto's All-Star swingman suffered the injury in the 4th quarter of the Raptors' overtime loss to the Nuggets.

OCTOBER 30 • NBA.COM

Out at least three weeks Barnes will miss at least three weeks due to an orbital fracture, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact This is a brutal blow to the Raptors. Barnes will be re-evaluated in three weeks, so it's not a guarantee he returns right away. Based on this timetable, he'll miss at least the next eight games, with the earliest possible return date being Nov. 15 against Detroit. In Barnes' absence, guys like Ochai Agbaji, Chris Boucher, Jamal Shead and Jonathan Mogbo will be candidates for increased minutes, and it's fair to expect RJ Barrett to see a massive spike in usage rate for the foreseeable future.

Will miss at least one game Barnes (eye) won't travel with the team to Charlotte for Wednesday's game, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Barnes took an elbow to the right eye during the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to Denver and didn't return. He'll miss at least one game, but the severity of the injury remains unclear, though Spears relays that Barnes' condition will be updated Wednesday. In Barnes' absence, Ochai Agbaji, Chris Boucher, Jamal Shead and Jonathan Mogbo are candidates for increased minutes, but the offense will presumably run through RJ Barrett, who made his season debut Monday after missing the first three games of the campaign due to a shoulder injury.
