Scottie Barnes Ruled Out for Friday's Game vs. Celtics with Knee Sprain

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Boston due to a knee sprain sustained Wednesday versus the Hornets. He was initially listed as questionable and then doubtful, with the team exercising caution. With Brandon Ingram (thumb) also sidelined, Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett are expected to see a significant uptick in usage, while Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji, and Collin Murray-Boyles will likely see increased minutes. Barnes' next opportunity to play is Sunday against the 76ers, the first of a back-to-back set.
