Jordan Schultz: Breaking: #Raptors’ star rookie Scottie Barnes is out for Game 2 against the #76ers, per source. X-Rays were negative on Barnes’ left ankle, which he injured in Game 1. Best case scenario, I’m told, is Nick Nurse/Toronto remain hopeful he will return later in the series.

Think most know how good Scottie Barnes is. But, he plays all 5 positions at once, on both ends. Toronto doesn’t have another guy like that. His being affected by the sprained ankle could change this series. – 9:57 AM

Re: Scottie Barnes: Happy to hear there is no fracture considering Embiid came down on the foot. However, the severity of the associated ligament damage remains key to determining recovery. A low-grade sprain would be the best-case scenario. – 9:18 PM

Scottie Barnes has been tough as nails all season. Think of all big hits he’s taken from the likes of Jokic or Adams or even tonight from Embiid. Never takes a backward step. Seeing him in that much pain tells a scary story. Can only hope it’s not as bad as it looks. Tough kid. – 8:33 PM

Scottie Barnes going straight back to the locker room. Embiid pivoted into the lane and stepped on the foot of Barnes, who was coming to help. Fluke play but that did not look good, and an ankle/foot sprain (hopefully that’s all it is) would be a big setback for the Raptors. – 8:26 PM

Josh Lewenberg: Per Raptors, Scottie Barnes has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain, Thad Young with a hyperextension to his left thumb. Both are doubtful for tomorrow’s Game 2. -via Twitter @JLew1050 / April 17, 2022

X-rays on Barnes’ ankle came back negative, but Raptors coach Nick Nurse said further imaging would be done Sunday. He gave the same report on Raptors forward Thaddeus Young, who left the game in the second quarter with a left thumb sprain. “It’s tough, man,” Raptors forward Pascal Siakam said of Barnes’ injury. “Obviously, he works extremely hard, and he’s been playing awesome this season. And I know he was super excited about the playoffs and wanting to be there and play. “So, yeah, man, we’ll see. Obviously we hope to have him next game. But yeah, it’s definitely tough to see him go down. And I know that it’s hard for him, because he wanted to be out there with us.” -via ESPN / April 17, 2022
