Scottie Barnes remains sidelined with an orbital fracture and has not been cleared for contact, with another evaluation not expected until next week. Despite participating in drills while wearing a protective mask, his absence has contributed to the Raptors' struggles, as they hold a 2-12 record this season. Barnes has only played four games, averaging 19 points, eight rebounds, and six assists per game, and the team has not fared well without him, ranking last in their NBA Cup group.
