Scottie Barnes (Toronto) out for at least three weeks after fractured right orbit

Extended for five years and at least $224 million this summer, Barnes is the figurehead of the new Canadian project while Toronto has missed the play-offs the last two seasons. But the former rookie of the year (2021-2022 season) still discovered the All-Star Game in 2024 after a superb individual campaign (19.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1, 3 interceptions and 1.5 blocks). In addition to Barnes, the franchise coached by Darko Rajakovic must also do without full-back Immanuel Quickley (pelvis), also extended this summer, for the trip to Charlotte this Wednesday evening.
