Won't play Tuesday
Barnes (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis
Barnes was a late addition to the injury report due to left ankle soreness and will miss his first game of the season. With the veteran forward sidelined, Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson and Carter Bryant are candidates for increased minutes. Barnes' next chance to play will come Thursday against Detroit.

Late add to injury report
Barnes is now questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to left ankle soreness.
Analysis
Barnes didn't have an injury designation heading into Tuesday, but the team added him to the injury report approximately two hours before tipoff. He'll likely need to test his ankle during pregame warmups before another update is provided.

Muted role continues
Barnes produced eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and three steals across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 win over the Raptors.
Analysis
Barnes continues to play limited minutes off the bench, having now scored single-digit points in 10 of his past 15 games. After starting for much of the season, Barnes was relegated to the bench earlier in the month. In 12 games over the past month, he has averaged 9.8 points and 2.1 three-pointers in 24.4 minutes per contest. Outside of streaming, Barnes has minimal fantasy value.
