Barnes shared the update Instagram account yessirskiscottiewhere he shows some behind the scenes details of his life.
He was injured on March 1 during a 120-105 loss to the Golden State Warriors, where he left the game after just 16 minutes of action.
“Life has been going well for me, just a little broken hand, everything will be fine, otherwise life is good,” Barnes wrote in a comment on the post. “The Hamilton playlist has stuck in my head since I watched it 2 months ago.”
The injury was officially diagnosed as a fracture of the third metacarpal bone in his left hand, as the team announced earlier this week.
Toronto’s fourth overall pick in the 2021 draft, Barnes has become the face of the team’s franchise following the organization’s clear commitment to a total rebuild.
Before his injury, Barnes was having the best season of his young NBA career. Playing in the All-Star Game for the first time, Barnes, 22, averaged 19.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.1 assists in 60 games this season with Toronto.
The Raptors have lost four of their last five games since Barnes was lost to injury. They return to action Wednesday night when they visit the Detroit Pistons. The alert is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET.
