Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes sprained his right ankle in the third quarter of a meeting with the New York Knicks on Monday night and will not return to the contest.
Barnes exited the game with 6:47 remaining in the third after colliding with New York big man Karl-Anthony Towns. While on the ground, Barnes was seemingly telling medical staff that he couldn’t feel his foot.
Barnes had 15 points on 5-of-11 shooting prior to his departure. He also snagged five rebounds.
Monday marked Barnes’ 10th game back after a broken orbital bone kept the 23-year-old out for nearly a month.
Entering Monday, Barnes was averaging 21.0 points, 8.7 rebounds and 7.8 assists in 13 games (all starts) this season.
