NBA: It is not known if Scottie Barnes will play Saturday for the Raptors

Toronto Raptors rookie Scottie Barnes remains a doubt for Saturday’s playoff game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Barnes sprained his left ankle in Game 1 of the series against the Sixers when Joel Embiid stepped on his foot.

Raptors coach Nick Nurse said he participated in some portions of practice Friday and wasn’t ruling out the possibility that he could play.
