"With this timeline, would suspect he is for surgery. Non-surgical treatment would allow a faster return to play. Surgery is done to repair muscles/nerves/vessels between the broken bones & help with vision changes (ex. double vision). NBA players return on average in 13 games." - Ali Rendely, MD, details about the implications of Barnes' injury and expected recovery time.
"It has led this doctor to believe that means he will undergo a surgical procedure... Not ideal, obviously." This statement reflects the team's worries following the injury of key player Scottie Barnes.
"Other than Charlotte, the Raptors' upcoming schedule is also HARD. So, getting a dub to store away was of importance to this young team, especially after losing their lead and therefore the game in that overtime bout against Denver on Monday." This reveals the challenges faced by the Raptors moving forward.
"We already knew Scottie would not play in the team's Wednesday trip to Charlotte, since he did not travel with them. Luckily Barrett has returned to play, and Quickley isn't far out, but it still sucks that we will have to wait LONGER now to see the Barnes, Barrett, Quickley core that the team has now invested a lotta cash into." This illustrates the impact of Barnes' absence on team dynamics.
