Scottie Barnes will miss several weeks with a right ankle injury he suffered in Monday's loss by the Toronto Raptors against the New York Knicks. Barnes previously missed time this season with a fractured orbital bone.


Barnes is averaging career highs of 20.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 7.4 assists this season.


Barnes and the Raptors agreed to a five-year max extension this past offseason worth up to $270 million if he makes an All-NBA team, which he won't play in enough games to qualify for voting eligibility.

This is squarely to blame on the way games are being called.

You touch a guy's hair after a 3pt shot and they blow the whistle. Your toe in the landing soace? Flagrant.

But in the paint? Guys can lose a tooth and they won't bkow a whistle.

It's led to incredibly rough play in the paint and consistently unguarded 3pt shots.
