He said at shootaround early in the day that Barnes could “maybe” play but the fourth pick was eventually a late scratch from the lineup.
Barnes suffered a sprained left ankle late in Game 1 on Saturday when Joel Embiid appeared to step on his foot in the fourth quarter.
He initially thought the injury was severe, but X-rays on his foot were negative. He has ditched the walking boot he was seen wearing on Monday.
