after Joel Embiid stepped on his foot. Barnes sprained his ankle on the play but X-rays were negative. He donned a walking boot while at Monday’s shootaround and on the bench for Game 2. The Raptors will receive some reinforcements with shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. set to play in Game 3. Trent is returning from a non-COVID-19 illness.
Trent played while under the weather in Game 1 and had nine points on 2-for-11 and was minus-23. He had zero points on 0-for-3 shooting in 10 minutes in Game 2 after being a game-time decision. He didn’t play after intermission.“It will probably be that he goes out and starts again and we see how he’s going,” Nurse said. “The issues that he’s having … the biggest thing I think that’s affecting him physically is just being able to breathe and catch his wind and survive through that.
