Flirts with double-double Saturday Barnes finished with 22 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 56 minutes Saturday in the Raptors' 124-120 triple-overtime win over th...

Impact Barnes was one of five Raptors to play 50-plus minutes as head coach Nick Nurse continued to deploy a tight rotation, even with the game extended an extra 15 minutes. The elevated playing time likely had a hand in Barnes clearing 20 points for the second time since January, and the rookie narrowly missed out on his first double-double since Dec. 14.

Goes for 16 points in return Barnes posted 16 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 111-105 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Barnes was a game-time call but ended up taking his place in the starting lineup, returning to action after missing the previous game due to a wrist injury. While his offensive production has taken a hit over the past few weeks, the rookie has demonstrated an ability to chip in elsewhere on a consistent basis. Based on what we have seen thus far, there is no reason to think he can't maintain solid midround value the rest of the way.

Back in action Wednesday Barnes (wrist) is available and will start Wednesday against the Bulls, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Impact Barnes was a game-time call and will play after missing one game due to right wrist soreness. He could take on a heavier offensive workload Wednesday with Fred VanVleet (knee) still sidelined.

Game-time call at Chicago Barnes (wrist) will be a game-time call for Wednesday's matchup against the Bulls, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.

Impact Speaking to reporters pregame, coach Nick Nurse said both Barnes and Fred VanVleet (knee) will be re-evaluated after they go through pregame, on-court workouts. Barnes is battling soreness in his right wrist, which kept him out of Tuesday's win over the Hornets. If Barnes is ultimately ruled out, Precious Achiuwa or Chris Boucher could remain in the starting lineup.

Questionable for Wednesday Barnes (wrist) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Bulls, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Barnes was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Tuesday's contest against the Hornets and was ultimately sidelined. Fred VanVleet (knee) is also considered questionable after missing Tuesday's game, so the Raptors could be without two of their best players again, which would open up plenty of opportunities for Toronto's reserves.
