The Raptors are definitely in bad luck. While they played eye to eye with the Knicks on Monday night, their cascade of injuries started again.
Scottie Barnes had to leave his team in the third quarter, unable to put his right foot on the ground. A new blow for the winger, who has already missed 11 games this season due to a fracture of the orbital floor.
What can determine the fate of a meeting? On a seemingly banal counter attempt, Scottie Barnes rose to bother Karl-Anthony Towns, before land on the foot of the Knicks pivot. “KAT” remained on the ground for a while before regaining his place, then proving decisive in the final moments. The Toronto player returned to the locker room after long seconds of grimacing.
No minutes in common for the Barnes – Barrett – Quickley trio
“ Scottie's right ankle has turned » confirmed Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic. “ We did an x-ray, it came back negative. We'll see how he feels tomorrow and we'll see from there. »
Even if they did not have high sporting objectives this season, the Raptors have had one problem after another. Besides Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley has only played three games this season and has ” still no return date » as confirmed by his coach, Darko Rajakovic. Kelly Olynyk has just started his season, while rookie Ja'Kobe Walter has only played eleven games. “ Why do all these wounds fall on us? I never asked myself the question » explained Darko Rajakovic. “ These kinds of injuries, they are beyond your control. I'm not questioning anything. We just have to get through this and deal with it. »
RJ Barrett, 30 points Monday night, will again be more responsible if Scottie Barnes were to miss games, while their trio with Quickley still has not played a single minute together this season. And as since the start of this exercise, it is with a group missing some of its strong men that Toronto will approach the next meetings, starting with a trip to a Heat in form on Friday.
