Raptors’ Barnes out weeks with orbital fracture

NBA

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes will miss at least three weeks after he suffered a right orbital fracture during a game, the team announced Wednesday.

Barnes was forced to leave Monday’s loss to the Denver Nuggets in the final minute of the fourth quarter after he was elbowed in the right eye.

The Raptors said in a statement that Barnes would be reevaluated in three weeks, “and his condition will be updated as appropriate.”

Barnes is averaging 19.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.0 assists through four games this season. He was a first-time All-Star in 2023-24.
