Scottie Barnes Eyes a Quick Comeback for the Raptors
In a stroke of good fortune for Raptors fans, it looks like Scottie Barnes won’t be sidelined for as long as anticipated. Initially expected to miss weeks due to an ankle injury, the young star is on the fast track to return to the court for Toronto, brightening the spirits of the team’s supporters.
Cleared for Action
The latest buzz comes from Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports, who reports that Barnes has received the green light from medical staff and was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice. “I’m so happy that it wasn’t as serious as I thought it was going to be,” Barnes emphasized, showing confidence as he gears up for his comeback.
Ready to Compete?
As it stands, Barnes is listed as “questionable” for tonight’s showdown against the Nets. However, this is a promising indication that he could be back in action sooner rather than later. If he doesn’t make his return tonight, fans can hold out hope to see him on the hardwood against the Rockets this Sunday.
This Season’s Stats Speak Volumes
Barnes has been nothing short of sensational this season, averaging an impressive 20.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game. As the new leader in Toronto, it’s crucial for him to steer clear of the injury list after multiple trips to the medical staff since the season kicked off. The Raptors need their star boy healthy to make a deep playoff run!
