Scottie Barnes forced to leave Game 1 after suffering injury

The loss wasn’t the only blow to the Raptor’s Saturday, potentially losing Scottie Barnes is. While the x-rays came back negative, per Nick Nurse, more testing will be done come Sunday (tomorrow).

Barnes reportedly suffered a sprained left ankle in the fourth quarter. That injury left Barnes no choice but to leave the remainder of the game. Despite the injury, Barnes was having one of the best games of his career. Good news, he did not disappoint in his first career postseason game.

His stats were 15 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists in 31 minutes. That is very impressive as not many things were going well for Toronto; at least Barnes was balling all out.

No timeline has been made known, it most likely will come out once all testing is done Sunday. This will determine the severity of the sprained left ankle.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Minnesota Timberwolves have learned that Donte DiVincenzo will be out indefinitely due to a big toe injury.

DiVincenzo injured his left foot’s big toe, which has been placed into a boot. Him and the organization will seek all options before making a final decision.

The 27-year-old’s injury is untimely, as he was just moved into Minnesota’s starting lineup. DiVincenzo put up a season-high 28 points in their loss to the Golden State Warriors.

There’s an expectation of him returning to the starting five once he is healthy.

Bucks Interested In Trading For Bradley Beal

According to Marc Stein, the Milwaukee Bucks want to get involved in this year’s trade deadline; they will do that by potentially trading for Bradley Beal. The Phoenix Suns are testing Beal’s trade value.

Currently, the Bucks have shown more interest in Beal than Jimmy Butler. Butler has been connected to Milwaukee’s radar for a while now. However, it appears a mindset shift has been made, which means Beal is in front of Butler for now.

General Manager Jon Horst has kept his eye on Beal since he wanted out from the Washington Wizards. It wouldn’t be shocking if the Bucks put together an enticing offer the Suns couldn’t refuse.

A deal with the Bucks could be done; why? Because Phoenix could see them as a third team to help facilitate Butler to Phoenix without Miami taking on Beal’s contract. It’s a win-win for all parties involved.

While interest and rumors are spiking, it is unknown if Beal would waive his No-Trade Clause to join the Bucks.

In 29 games this season, the 31-year-old is averaging 17.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists.

His right hand is his shooting hand. There is good news, though: Towns is willing to play through the injury. This injury doesn’t require surgery during or after the season.

Towns missed Wednesday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Jericho Sims started in his absence.
