Raptors Frontcourt Gets Thinner With Latest Injury

Scottie Barnes Will Be Out Indefinitely

The Toronto Raptors have been hit with another injury, as forward Scottie Barnes will be out indefinitely with a sprained left ankle.

The injury is a big blow to the Raptors, who have been counting on Barnes to be a key part of their success this season.

The 20-year-old is averaging 15.0 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game this season.

Barnes suffered the injury in the third quarter of the Raptors' 124-123 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday night.

He landed awkwardly on his left ankle after attempting to block a shot by Kings forward Keegan Murray.

The injury to Barnes leaves the Raptors thin in the frontcourt.

With Barnes out, Precious Achiuwa and Chris Boucher are the only two natural power forwards on the roster.

The Raptors will have to adjust their lineup in the wake of Barnes' injury.

One possibility is that they could move Pascal Siakam to power forward and start Achiuwa at small forward.

Barnes' injury is a setback for the Raptors, who are currently 22-27 and in 11th place in the Eastern Conference.

The Raptors will need to find a way to fill the void left by Barnes if they want to make a playoff push this season.
