Toronto Raptors lose Scottie Barnes to fractured hand; time for The IQ & RJ Show w/ Vivek Jacob

In Episode 1588, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about the Toronto Raptors weekend split against the Golden State Warriors and Charlotte Hornets and the loss of Scottie Barnes to a fractured third metacarpal in his left hand that could spell the end of his breakout season. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about what a bummer the Barnes injury is, especially considering the identity the team seemed to be finding with Barnes as the clear leading man coming out of the All-Star break. Should the loss of Barnes affect the Raptors' approach to the last stretch of the season as it related to keeping their draft pick? And is there anything left for Raptors fan to excited about night to night over the next month and a half? Next, Sean and Vivek chat about Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett now becoming the engines of the Raptors, the strides they've each made since coming to Toronto, and their efforts in a 111-106 win over the Charlotte Hornets. Lastly, they run through The Good (Ochai Agbaji doing the little things, Gradey Dick), The Bad (Jakob Poeltl's dislocated pinky) and The Hmmm (Agbaji getting the start, Javon Freeman-Liberty getting an NBA deal) to round out the show.
