Barnes amassed 26 points (10-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 assists, nine rebounds and one steal across 30 minutes in Tuesday's 119-118 preseason win over the Celtics.
Barnes scored at will against the Celtics while stuffing the stat sheet and hitting five of his nine three-point attempts. The 23-year-old is coming off a career-best season, during which he averaged 19.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 2.8 combined steals plus blocks across 34.9 minutes per game in 60 regular-season outings. Barnes is the clear No. 1 option for the Raptors after the team traded away Pascal Siakam last season, and he will likely be in for another year of stuffing the stat sheet if he can stay healthy.
