Raptors forward Scottie Barnes suffered a broken left hand during Toronto’s 120-105 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Friday night.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook also suffered a broken left hand during his team’s 140-115 blowout win against the Washington Wizards.

The injury to Barnes was officially described as a fracture of the third metacarpal bone, while it is still unknown exactly which part of Westbrook’s hand was injured.

Barnes appeared to suffer the injury late in the second quarter after colliding with teammate Immanuel Quickly as they tried to defend a sH๏τ near the rim.

The 22-year-old All-Star then immediately jumped into the air and smacked his right hand on the rim before grabbing his left hand as he screamed in pain.

Barnes exited the game with 10 points and six ᴀssists after only 16 minutes and did not return. His early exit ended a career-best streak of five consecutive double-doubles.

Toronto went on to announce that Barnes will be out indefinitely moving forward.

‘Obviously when you lose an All-Star player in the game, that definitely changes a lot of things,’ Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said. ‘We tried with different lineups, different players tonight, gave multiple players opportunities there.’ 

Westbrook on the other hand recorded six points and one ᴀssist before suffering his injury.

He played in only 10 minutes during the Clippers’ lopsided win. 

The injury appeared to occur with around 10 minutes left in the second quarter after he attempted to steal the ball from Wizards guard Jordan Poole.

Westbrook’s hand appeared to have stuck Poole’s knee before he was seen immediately attempting to flex the hand multiple times.
