Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes is expected to be out at least one week with a right ankle injury, the team announced Wednesday.
Barnes left Monday’s game against the New York Knicks midway through the third quarter of the 113-108 loss. He was helped off the court by teammates before hopping to the locker room and was unable to put weight on his right foot.
Per the team, Barnes will be reevaluated in a week.
Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said following the game that initial X-rays on Barnes’ foot did not reveal a fracture. Toronto’s next game is Thursday at Miami (7:30 p.m. ET, NBA League Pass).
Barnes was injured when he landed on New York’s Karl-Anthony Towns while battling for a defensive rebound with 6:47 left in the third quarter. Barnes scored 15 points in 23 minutes before exiting.
Barnes missed 11 games earlier this season because of a right orbital fracture and has worn protective glasses since returning Nov. 21. Toronto went 2-9 without him.
A first-time All-Star last season, Barnes signed a contract extension this summer that could reach around $270 million if he meets supermax criteria.
This season, Barnes is averaging 20.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game and shooting 46.1% overall and 31% on 3-pointers.
