NBA stars Scottie Barnes and Russell Westbrook both suffer fractured left hands, leaving their teams in suspense. What's next for these players?

In a surprising turn of events, both Scottie Barnes of the Toronto Raptors and Russell Westbrook of the Los Angeles Clippers found themselves facing a similar fate on Friday night โ€“ fractured left hands. The third metacarpal bone injury for Barnes and the broken middle finger for Westbrook have put their teams on edge, uncertain about their return. Barnes, a rising star, had been on an impressive double-double streak before the injury, while Westbrook's absence will be keenly felt by the Clippers. The timetable for their comeback remains uncertain, pending decisions on surgery.

The Toronto Raptors confirmed that Scottie Barnes fractured the third metacarpal bone in his left hand, a significant setback for the All-Star forward. This injury, occurring late in the second quarter, has left fans and teammates concerned about the team's performance in his absence.

His absence will be a loss for the Raptors, who will have to find ways to compensate for his dynamic presence.
