Game-time decision Monday Barnes (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Monday's matchup with Miami, Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun reports.

Impact Barnes was expected to miss some time due to a right ankle sprain sustained in Saturday's loss to the Heat, but it appears he'll test the ankle in pregame warmups before a decision is made regarding his availability. With Chris Boucher (hamstring) set to make his season debut Monday, it wouldn't be surprising if the Raptors elected to give Barnes a night off to ensure his return to full health.

Listed questionable for Monday Barnes (ankle) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Heat, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Impact Barnes suffered a right ankle sprain during Saturday's loss to the Heat and was expected to miss some time, per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com. The Raptors are giving the second-year forward a chance to suit up Monday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Toronto hold Barnes out for at least one contest. If Barnes is ultimately sidelined, Chris Boucher (hamstring), Thaddeus Young and Justin Champagnie would be candidates for increased roles during Toronto's rematch against Miami.

Expected to miss time Coach Nick Nurse said after Saturday's game against the Heat that he expects Barnes (ankle) to miss some time, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Barnes sustained a right ankle sprain during Saturday's loss to Miami and will likely undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the issue. He didn't have his ankle wrapped while moving around after the game, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss at least one game following Saturday's early exit.

Won't return Saturday Barnes has been diagnosed with a right ankle sprain and won't return Saturday against the Heat, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Impact Barnes suffered the injury in the first half of the game against Miami. The injury appeared to be concerning initially and was later confirmed to be a sprain. Barnes should miss a few games at a minimum, and he ends Saturday's outing with 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and a block across 13 minutes.

Hits for 17 against Nets Barnes logged 17 points (7-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 109-105 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact It was another productive effort for last season's Rookie of the Year. Barnes is showing no signs of a letdown in his sophomore campaign, and after averaging 1.8 steals plus blocks a game as a rookie, his defensive numbers could be poised for a big leap forward in 2022-23.

Drops seven dimes against Cavs Barnes amassed 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 108-105 victory over the Cavaliers.

Impact The stat line doesn't do justice to Barnes' impressive play down the stretch as the reigning Rookie of the Year came up with numerous big plays, including the assist on Precious Achiuwa's game-sealing dunk with 0.7 seconds left on the clock. Barnes' game still has plenty of room to grow, and it looks like his distribution skills might be the next area to blossom after he led the Raptors in assists in their season opener.

Team option picked up The Raptors exercised Barnes' $8.01 million team option for the 2023-24 season Wednesday, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Barnes dealt with a minor ankle injury prior to training camp but shouldn't be limited by the issue to begin the regular season. He averaged 15.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 35.4 minutes per game over 74 appearances last year and should handle a massive workload once again during his second professional season. The decision to pick up Barnes' option is a no-brainer for Toronto, as the Florida State product appears to be on a star trajectory after a stellar rookie year.
