Head coach Nick Nurse said Barnes did not practice Tuesday and is currently listed as day-to-day. The 21-year-old suffered the injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s 118-111 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks and did not return, finishing with five points in 13 minutes.

Selected fourth overall by Toronto in the 2021 NBA Draft, Barnes was named last season’s Rookie of the Year, the first Raptor to win the award since Vince Carter in 1999.

The Raptors sit ninth in the Eastern Conference with a 35-37 record.
