Scottie Barnes Nears Return from Groin Strain for Toronto Raptors

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes is expected to return soon from a groin strain that has sidelined him for recent matchups against heavy-hitters like Boston and Philadelphia. While the exact return date remains unclear, there is little indication the injury is serious. Barnes was showcasing an offensive leap before the injury, and his absence has left the Raptors struggling to operate effectively without both him and Kawhi Leonard during the early stretch of the season.
