Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Named All-Star, logs six stocks
Rotowire
Barnes posted 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, four blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during the Raptors' 107-100 win over the Jazz on Sunday.
Barnes was named as a reserve for All-Star weekend and showed why with his performance Sunday, especially on the defensive end of the floor where he blocked four shots for a second consecutive game. He twisted his left foot on Jusuf Nurkic while diving for a loose ball late in the fourth quarter, and while Barnes was able to finish out the game, that potential injury will need to be monitored ahead of the Raptors' next game, which takes place Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Swats four shots in Friday's loss
Rotowire
Barnes registered 19 points (7-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and four blocks over 35 minutes during the Raptors' 130-120 loss to the Magic on Friday.
Barnes finished Friday's game as the Raptors' second-leading scorer behind Brandon Ingram (35 points), though the former made his presence felt more on the defensive side of the floor. It was the fifth time Barnes logged at least four blocks in a game this season, and he has recorded three blocks in three of his last four outings, including last Friday's win over the Trail Blazers when he blocked six shots. Barnes is averaging 2.8 combined steals-plus-blocks per game this season along with 19.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists over 34.5 minutes per game.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Near triple-double Sunday
Rotowire
Barnes recorded 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-2 FT, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during the Raptors' 103-101 win over the Thunder on Sunday.
It was a balanced scoring attack from the Raptors on Sunday, with six players -- including Barnes -- scoring 10 points or more. The All-Star forward led the Raptors in assists and blocks, and his offensive rebound on a missed free throw from Immanuel Quickley late in the fourth quarter helped Toronto seal the road win. Barnes will finish the Raptors' five-game road trip having averaged 19.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.2 steals over 34.6 minutes per game.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Stuffs stat sheet in win
Rotowire

Barnes contributed in multiple categories in Wednesday's win over the Kings, tying for the team lead with 23 points and matching his season high of four steals. The 24-year-old forward is in the midst of one of the best five-game stretches of his career, averaging 24.2 points, 8.0 assists, 7.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals on 52.7 percent shooting from the field across a league-high 37 minutes per game during that span.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Hits for 26/7/11 double-double
Rotowire
Barnes finished Tuesday's 145-127 victory over the Warriors with 26 points (12-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and 11 assists over 39 minutes.
Barnes made plays all over the court and contained the Warriors' interior alongside Sandro Mamukelashvili, who also recorded a double-double in the win. Barnes has hit the double-double milestone 17 times this season, but it's only the second time getting there via his assist total. The standout 24-year-old forward also has two triple-doubles to his credit.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Finishes with 22 points in loss
Rotowire
Barnes supplied 22 points (10-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 loss to the Lakers.
Barnes was one rebound shy of a double-double in the loss, and he played reasonably well while battling with LeBron James for most of the game. He faded a bit down the stretch after a red-hot start during a 12-2 Toronto run in the first quarter, but he finished as the team's high scorer regardless. His scoring total marked his third consecutive game with 20-plus points, and his fourth in five games.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Paces Toronto in overtime loss
Rotowire
Barnes closed with 24 points (9-21 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes in Friday's 121-117 overtime loss to the Clippers.
Barnes led the Raptors in scoring but ultimately came up short in an overtime loss. Perimeter shooting remains a secondary part of his game at just 3.3 three-point attempts per contest this season, yet going without a make from deep in five of the past seven games underscores how even modest improvement -- he's shooting 32.6 percent from beyond the arc on the year -- could raise his overall impact.
Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Flirts with triple-double in win
Rotowire
Barnes racked up 26 points (10-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 13 assists, seven rebounds, two steals and one block over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 115-101 win over the Pacers.
This was a nice bounce-back performance from Barnes, who was held to just 15 points on 5-for-16 shooting his last time out. This was Barnes' 11th game of the season with multiple steals, and he's had at least one steal and one block in all but seven games during his 2025-26 campaign.
Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Game-winning FT vs. Philly
Rotowire
Barnes posted 31 points (10-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 10-12 FT), seven assists and six rebounds over 43 minutes during the Raptors' 116-115 overtime win over the 76ers on Sunday.
Barnes served as the focal point of the Raptors' offense Sunday due to the absences of RJ Barrett (ankle) and Brandon Ingram (thumb), and Barnes finished as the game's second-leading scorer behind Tyrese Maxey (38 points). Barnes' 10th made free throw with 0.8 seconds left in overtime put the Raptors up for good, and he deliberately missed the second attempt to let the clock expire. The Raptors and 76ers will do it all again in Monday's rematch in Toronto.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Available Sunday
Rotowire
Barnes (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Barnes was held out of Friday's loss to the Celtics but will shed his questionable tag Sunday due to a right knee sprain. The Raptors will likely rely heavily on the star forward in the front end of this back-to-back set against Philadelphia, as RJ Barrett (ankle), Brandon Ingram (thumb) and Jakob Poeltl (back) have all been ruled out. Over his last five games, Barnes has averaged 17.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks across 33.6 minutes per contest.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Questionable to play vs. 76ers
Rotowire
Barnes (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Barnes missed the Raptors' loss to the Celtics on Friday, but the questionable tag suggests the star forward might have a shot at returning to action Sunday. Barnes is having another strong year with averages of 19.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and a combined 1.8 steals-plus-blocks per game in 38 starts. If he's out Sunday, then Collin Murray-Boyles and Jamison Battle would be in line to see more minutes at the four.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Branes (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Boston, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Brandon Ingram (thumb) will join Barnes on the sidelines Friday night, so Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett figure to see a massive uptick in usage, and there will be a ton of minutes available for guys like Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji and Collin Murray-Boyles. Barnes' next chance to play will come Sunday versus the 76ers, but that game will be the first of a back-to-back set.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Doubtful for Friday
Rotowire
Barnes (knee) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game versus Boston, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Barnes was previously listed as questionable, but he was not seen at the morning shootaround. He's dealing with a knee sprain he suffered Wednesday against the Hornets, and it looks like the Raptors will err on the side of caution. Brandon Ingram (thumb) remains questionable, so players like Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji may be asked to step up.

Rotowire
Barnes is questionable for Friday's game versus Boston with a right knee sprain.
Barnes limped to the locker room early in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Hornets with this knee issue, but he was able to return for the end of the game.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Goes to locker room
Rotowire
Barnes (undisclosed) went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Barnes appeared to sustain an injury while attempting to block a layup attempt from Moussa Diabate. The Raptors already lost Brandon Ingram (thumb) for the rest of the evening, so RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley will step into even larger roles if Barnes is not cleared to return. Ochai Agbaji, Ja'Kobe Walter and Gradey Dick should also see more minutes off the bench for as long as Barnes is out of the game.
Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Posts solid all-around night
Rotowire
Barnes totaled 18 points (8-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and 10 assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 118-100 win over the Hawks.
Barnes was unable to get his shot to fall from beyond the arc, but he still managed to finish second on his team in scoring with an efficient night from the field. He also recorded a double-double by dishing out 10 assists, a mark he's reached in three of his last five appearances. Barnes failed to record a steal or block for the first time in four games, though he should have a good chance to get back on track defensively Wednesday in Charlotte.
