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 win against the Washington Wizards.

Barnes’ injury was officially described as a fracture of the third metacarpal, while it is still not known 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 shot near the rim.

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

LA Clippers guard Russell Westbrook also suffered a broken left hand during his team’s victory

Barnes left the game after just 16 minutes with 10 points and six assists and did not return. His early departure ended a career-best streak of five consecutive double-doubles.

Toronto further announced that Barnes will be out indefinitely.

“Obviously, if you lose an All-Star player in the game, that definitely changes a lot of things,” Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said. ‘We tried different formations, different players tonight, and gave several players opportunities there.’

Westbrook, on the other hand, recorded six points and one assist before suffering an injury.

He played just 10 minutes in the Clippers’ lopsided win.

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

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