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.

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 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: 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.

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: 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.
