Scottie Barnes available to play in Game 4 for Raptors
Scottie Barnes is available to play today, after initially being a game-time decision for the Toronto Raptors in Game 4 of their opening round series of the NBA playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Barnes suffered an ankle sprain on Saturday night’s Game 1 in a collision with 76ers centre Joel Embiid.

“We shall see shortly,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said pregame.
“The injury wasn’t too serious. If he clears he’ll play, and we’ll give him a long, good run as long as he can handle it.”
Barnes moved from doubtful to questionable on the injury report earlier Saturday.
