Barnes (eye) is questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota. As expected, Barnes has a chance to make his return Thursday after practicing Wednesday. He's missed 11 straight games, so even if he gets the green light, Barnes will likely face some restrictions.

Barnes (eye) is questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota. As expected, Barnes has a chance to make his return Thursday after practicing Wednesday. He's missed 11 straight games, so even if he gets the green light, Barnes will likely face some restrictions.
Barnes (eye) will likely be listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. Barnes took part in Wednesday's practice with contact, but the Raptors will see how he feels Thursday morning before a decision is made. This is great news for Barnes' fantasy managers, as he's on track to beat his original timetable.
Barnes (eye) was able to participate in Wednesday's practice, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports. This is excellent news for the Raptors, though an official target date has yet to be announced. Barnes is due to be re-evaluated any day now, so an official update is expected in the near future. Once Barnes gets the green light, minutes could be harder to come by for Ochai Agbaji and Jonathan Mogbo.
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. 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.
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. 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.
The Raptors announced Barnes will miss at least three weeks due to an orbital fracture, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. The three-week mark is merely a re-evaluation date for Barnes, so even if he's cleared to resume on-court work at some point in late November, he could require a ramp-up period before being deemed ready for game action. In Barnes' absence, Ochai Agbaji, Chris Boucher, Jonathan Mogbo and Jamison Battle could absorb some of the vacated minutes, while RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) and Gradey Dick could notice spikes in usage.
Barnes (eye) won't travel with the team to Charlotte for Wednesday's game, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports. 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.
Barnes (head) went back to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Nuggets, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports. The forward caught an elbow to the face from Nikola Jokic and was assisted to the locker room. Barnes is not expected to return with the game nearing its end, and he contributed 21 points (9-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists, five steals and a block across 35 minutes.
Barnes recorded 27 points (8-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-13 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 115-107 victory over Philadelphia. Barnes delivered a subpar performance in the season-opening loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday, but the star forward only needed a few days to bounce back. He carried the Raptors in scoring in this one and also made his presence felt in peripheral categories with his contributions on both ends of the court. Barnes should be one of Toronto's notable performers on a game-to-game basis as long as he stays healthy, especially with Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) and RJ Barrett (shoulder) dealing with injuries.
