What happened to Scottie Barnes?

During the Golden State Warriors matchup on March 1, Scottie Barnes exited the court in the second quarter due to an injury to his left hand, which occurred as he attempted to block a layup by Jonathan Kuminga. The injury appeared to occur when Immanuel Quickley inadvertently kicked Scottie's hand.

While the play continued and Toronto moved the ball forward, Barnes remained on defense. Eventually, he deliberately fouled a Warriors player on the subsequent possession before heading to the locker room.

Per Josh Lewenberg's report, Barnes' on-court activities have not included using his surgically repaired left hand, indicating that his return to game action may not be imminent.

While the Raptors have not officially ruled Barnes out for the remainder of the season, given the team's current standing at 23-53 and their position well outside of playoff contention, there is little motivation to expedite his return if he has not fully recovered from surgery.
