Scottie Barnes Returns, Dominates Defensively vs. Thunder

Scottie Barnes returned to the Toronto Raptors' lineup Tuesday, recording 15 points, seven assists, three rebounds, four blocks, and three steals in a loss to the Thunder. Despite missing the previous game for personal reasons, Barnes showcased his defensive prowess with a season-high seven 'stocks' and led the team in assists. He is tied for ninth in the NBA in blocks per game among non-centers. Barnes appeared to favor his right knee/quad late in the game, which will be monitored as the Raptors play a back-to-back set.
