Scottie Barnes Injury Update: 4/9/25 vs. the Hornets

UPDATE: Scottie Barnes is available to play Wednesday vs. the Hornets.

The Raptors will be shorthanded on Wednesday against the Hornets. The team will be missing a handful of players, and Scottie Barnes could be a part of that group.

Barnes is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Hornets as he deals with a hand injury.

The 23-year-old sat the past two games and could miss his third straight on Wednesday, April 9. Barnes has been relatively healthy this season aside from an extended absence in November. He’s averaging 18.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game in his fourth NBA season.

Jakob Poeltl is also questionable for Wednesday’s match with a hand injury. Jamal Shead (rest), Ochai Agbaji (rest) and Ja’Kobe Walter (hip) are all out. This game doesn’t hold much weight since both teams are eliminated from playoff contention already. Both the Hornets and Raptors are just jostling for slightly better lottery odds.
