Breaking Now: The Raptors aren’t healthy, but they continue to battle: Raptors injury update : Coach Rajakovic drop a recent update concerning Scottie Barnes and others a long way off

Despite the Raptors delivering exciting and promising performances in each game, a glance at the bench reveals several players in street clothes. Here’s the latest on their health status. First off, All-Star Scottie Barnes remains a long way from returning to play.

After it was discovered that he had fractured his orbital bone, the Raptors initially outlined a three-week timeline on October 30 for him to determine the best course of action. Today, Barnes has a doctor’s appointment, and we should receive an update soon, possibly even before tonight’s game. Coach Darko Rajakovic previously mentioned that he was unaware of any surgical plans for Barnes. Currently, Barnes can be seen sitting courtside at Raptors games with a notably swollen eye and a smile on his face. Immanuel Quickley, who suffered a hard fall on opening night that forced him to leave the game, has been dealing with a pelvic contusion since then.

Coach Rajakovic has described Quickley’s recovery as inconsistent, with some days being better than others, and they are waiting for a time when there are no doubts about his condition. He has been classified as doubtful for tonight’s matchup against Denver, so stay tuned for updates before the game. On a positive note, both RJ Barrett and Ja’Kobe Walter have recovered from their AC joint sprains and appear to be in great shape. Walter made his NBA debut, scoring his first basket and showing more defensive impact than anticipated. Meanwhile, Barrett is delivering impressive offensive numbers, averaging around 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists with a remarkable 59 percent true shooting percentage. Amazing!

Kelly Olynyk, who experienced a lumbar strain in his back during the Raptors’ first preseason game in Montreal (where he played just 11 minutes), is expected to be sidelined for a couple more weeks, according to the Raptors. Bruce Brown, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in the offseason, is currently out. There are no updates on his condition, but he has been sporting some stylish outfits on the sidelines this season. That’s everything for now. We’ll have more information later. Have a wonderful day!
