Re: Scottie Barnes: Facial fractures are surprisingly common in the NBA. Time lost varies due to a multitude of factors including the involved bone(s), size of the break, any additional soft tissue or eye damage, or the need for surgery. – 3:01 PM

Raptors’ Scottie Barnes suffers an orbital bone fracture, to be re-evaluated in three weeks
This is a real blow for the Raptors, who lean heavily on Barnes for shot creation.

Per Raptors: Scottie Barnes is out with a right orbital fracture suffered when he got hit inadvertently by Nikola Jokic late in Monday’s game. He will be reevaluated in three weeks. No word if it required surgery or not. Hard to see Barnes returning in any sooner than a month. – 1:43 PM
