Toronto Raptors’ Scottie Barnes looking forward to season opener against Cleveland Cavaliers on Oct. 23
It’s been the better part of eight months since Scottie Barnes was in a regular-season NBA game. A week away from the Toronto Raptors’ home opener, he feels he’s ready.
He had 16 points, eight rebounds, an assist and two steals over 20 minutes in a 113-95 loss to the Washington Wizards on Oct. 11, his first game back after the injury. Two days later he had 10 points, two assists and a rebound in a 115-111 loss in Boston to the Celtics. “Just staying consistent,” said Barnes on Wednesday after practice at OVO Athletic Centre. “Keep doing what we do, play the right way, playing smart, and just keep being us.”
“Then we talked about it, we watched film on it, and then we worked on it in practice, and the next game we, I don’t think they had that many second chance points, so we’ve just got to keep talking and keep learning from each other.” “I know my role is gonna get a little smaller, but I’ll still keep playing to the best of my abilities defensively, get my teammates open, what I’ve been doing the pre-season,” he said.
