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.

Zach Edey Missing Start Of Regular Season Due To Ankle Surgery

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Memphis Grizzlies will be without their young center due to him requiring surgery to re-stabilize his left ankle.

Zach Edey re-sprained his ankle during an offseason workout, which has forced him to make the tough decision to get surgery performed on that ankle.

With the timing of everything, reports are coming out that he will miss the beginning of next season.

“After consulting with the Grizzlies and multiple specialists, we decided this is the best approach for Zach long-term as it gets him back to 100% with no limitations,” Edey’s agent Mark Bartelstein said. “He will make a full recovery and be back better than ever.”

Last season, Edey averaged 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game.

De'Aaron Fox Hopes To Sign New Contract With Spurs

According to multiple reports, ultimately confirmed by the man himself, De’Aaron Fox absolutely wants to sign an extension with the San Antonio Spurs to continue their partnership.

Fox is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, as he has completed his five-year, $163 million contract that he signed back in 2021 with the Sacramento Kings. This was his designated rookie contract.

The 27-year-old is eligible to sign a four-year, $228.6 million extension. There have been speculated rumors of both sides wanting this not to be a one-and-done type relationship.
