Toronto Raptors: were having so much fun, until they weren’t

Related Topics: RAPTORS, Scottie Barnes, Nikola Jokic

Remember winning against the Philadelphia 76ers? The vibes being so good? The youth movement kinda working?

That was SO last week... cause we are back to sad hours.

Yup, Scottie Barnes catching a Nikola Jokic elbow to the face in the Raptors’ loss to the Nuggets on Monday was not a flop. In fact, his face is now broken — well, fractured.

Barnes suffered an orbital fracture on his right side, which basically means some of the face bone around his eye/cheek area has cracked. With things like orbital fractures and broken noses, where you can’t do much more harm to them by playing with a cool batman mask, return to play estimates are short.
