Beyond that, no other timeline – 1:22 PM

Barrett hurt himself as he tried to navigate a screen set by Washington big man Jonas Valančiūnas, who was called for an offensive foul on the play. Barrett briefly stayed in the game but exited before the second quarter finished after scoring a team-high 17 points in 14 minutes. -via New York Times / October 8, 2024
