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 Chicago Bulls have traded Coby White to Charlotte Hornets for Collin Sexton.

The full trade terms see the Bulls get Sexton and three second round picks, and the Hornets get White and Mike Conley Jr.; however, Conley Jr. may become a buyout candidate.

If he were to become a buyout candidate, reportedly, he would go back to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Leading to the deadline, White was considered a strong trade candidate due to his expiring contract. This season, the 25-year-old is averaging 18.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists in 29 games. For White, this will be his second team in his entire career.

Multiple reports have stated Chicago is not done trading yet, as they are only getting started.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Philadelphia 76ers have decided to trade Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Houston Rockets’ 2026 first round pick and three second round picks.

This trade heavily took place due to the Sixers no longer having a solid role for the 21-year-old. With their backcourt consisting of Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, McCain’s spot on the team slowly began to shrink. Especially considering the meniscus injury he suffered during his rookie season.

OKC is hoping, in the long-term, that McCain can get back to his original style of play and help elevate the already-dominating Thunder.
