Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes sustained a right orbital bone fracture and will be re-evaluated in three weeks, the team announced Wednesday.

He was struck in the face by Nikola Jokic’s elbow while battling for a rebound in the fourth quarter of Monday’s 127-125 overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets.

Barnes did not return to the game and finished with team highs in points (21) and assists (nine) to go along with 12 rebounds.

He previously was ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the host Charlotte Hornets.

Barnes, 23, is averaging 19.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.0 assists in four games this season.

The Rookie of the Year in 2021-22 and an All-Star last season, Barnes has averaged 16.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 215 career games (214 starts) since being selected by the Raptors with the fourth overall pick of the 2021 NBA Draft.
