Scottie Barnes Stats

Kurt Helin of NBC Sports hears that Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes is "not available" in trade discussions, particularly surrounding superstar guard Damian Lillard. While it would make sense for the former Rookie of the Year to represent something of an untouchable asset still with two years left on his team-friendly deal, Toronto may have to include some piece of their core in any potential deal if they're serious about acquiring Lillard. Barnes didn't take a step forward or backward last season in Year 2, but he could be in for a third-year leap in playmaking after Toronto's bewildering offseason saw them let franchise cornerstone Fred VanVleet walk away. The 22-year-old may only be scratching the surface of his capabilities, and Barnes could exceed top-50 fantasy value in 2023-24.

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes enjoyed a big, well-rounded game as they took down the Miami Heat by 14 points on Tuesday. The second-year forward registered 22 points, 12 assists, seven rebounds and three steals, all while shooting 10-for-16 from the floor and 2-for-2 from the line. Barnes has yet to deliver on his expectations heading into this season, but he still is a big contributor in every fantasy format. The good news is that the Raptors need to depend on him to make sure they get a playoff spot, so fantasy managers won't see his usage fluctuate much down the stretch.

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (wrist) could be unavailable for a second consecutive game on Friday against Detroit. He hurt his left wrist last weekend against Milwaukee and hasn't been able to practice since then. The 21-year-old also couldn't play Wednesday against Indiana, and after Barnes missed another practice on Thursday, he is regarded as questionable for Friday's contest. The Raptors are dealing with a couple of other injuries as well and it's lifted Will Barton and Chris Boucher into bigger roles.

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (wrist) was forced to exit their game in the second quarter on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The silver lining is that the X-Rays came back clean, but he will be evaluated further on Monday just to make sure that the doesn't have to miss major time. Gary Trent Jr. replaced him in the lineup on Sunday and he would likely be the one to slot into the starting lineup again if Barnes does have to miss a game or two.
