Scottie Barnes (hand) won't suit up on Sunday against the Nets, marking his second-consecutive absence. Barnes was absent for Friday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. As a result,
Jonathan Mogbo entered the starting lineup and finished with six points, eight rebounds, and one block. However,
Jakob Poeltl (hand) and
Immanuel Quickley (rest) are also out for this one, so Mogbo should see a bump in production behind
Ochai Agbaji,
Ja'Kobe Walter,
Jamal Shead, and
RJ Barrett.

2 weeks agoAccording to Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun, Toronto Raptors forward
Scottie Barnes (hand) won't play against the Detroit Pistons on Friday. The 23-year-old will be out of action during the second leg of a back-to-back set due to an injured right hand. On Wednesday versus the Blazers, Barnes finished with five points, two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 27 minutes on the floor. He's been bothered by a contusion on his right hand, which has undoubtedly impacted his shooting numbers recently. While Barnes is sidelined,
Jonathan Mogbo and
Cole Swider will be in line for a more prominent role in tonight's contest.

Scottie Barnes (hand) is available for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers. The 23-year-old has been bothered by a contusion on his right hand, which has undoubtedly impacted his shooting numbers of late. It's unknown how much action Barnes will continue to receive heading toward the end of the 2024-25 campaign. But as far as Thursday night is concerned, the absences of
Gradey Dick (knee),
Jakob Poeltl (rest), and
Immanuel Quickley (rest) should keep Barnes busy on both ends of the floor.

Scottie Barnes (finger) is considered questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has sustained a joint contusion on one of the fingers of his right hand. Toronto has begun to rest its big names regularly in recent weeks, but Barnes has made 10 consecutive appearances.
Ochai Agbaji (rest), who is returning to the lineup on Thursday, will help fill the void left by Barnes if he can't play. Meanwhile,
Ja'Kobe Walter,
A.J. Lawson, and
Jamison Battle will also have additional playing opportunities.
