Scottie Barnes is dealing with a fractured orbital bone, but the news is not as dire as it could have been. According to a tweet from Michael Grange, Barnes met with doctors and will not require surgery.
The Toronto Raptors will re-evaluate the young star in two weeks to assess his recovery progress. This timeline is crucial as the team looks to maintain their momentum early in the season.
Barnes’s injury comes as a significant setback for Toronto. He has been a vital contributor to the team’s success early this season.
In just four games, the young forward has been impressive, averaging 19.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6.0 assists. His performance had elevated expectations for the Raptors.
The absence of Barnes will test Toronto’s depth as they navigate the challenges of the season.
