Questionable to play vs. 76ers
Barnes (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Analyse
Barnes missed the 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.

Won't play Friday
Branes (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Boston, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Analyse
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.

Doubtful for Friday
Barnes (knee) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game versus Boston, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Analyse
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.

Questionable for Friday
Barnes is questionable for Friday's game versus Boston with a right knee sprain.
Analyse
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. The Raptors are now calling it a sprain, and the team may tread carefully here. Additionally, Brandon Ingram is questionable with a thumb sprain.

Available to return
Barnes (knee) is available to return to Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analyse
Barnes limped to the locker room early in the fourth quarter, but he has been cleared to return to Wednesday's game after having his right knee examined by medical staff. He left the contest having accrued 17 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, one steal and one block over 28 minutes.

Goes to locker room
Barnes (undisclosed) went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analyse
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.

Posts solid all-around night
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.
Analyse
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.

Tallies five stocks vs. Atlanta
Barnes totaled 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals across 32 minutes during Saturday's 134-117 victory over the Hawks.
Analyse
Barnes did a little bit of everything Saturday, and his defense during the fourth quarter helped propel a run that sealed the win for the Raptors. It was the fifth time this season that the All-Star forward logged three or more steals in a game, and he has also scored at least 20 points in four of his last six outings. Over that six-game span, Barnes has averaged 19.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks over 35.0 minutes per game.
