Barnes racked up 14 points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 108-89 loss to the Raptors.
Barnes has certainly cooled off after his blistering start to the season, and that was on show again Friday. To be fair, all the starters were benched down the stretch in this one, and so he perhaps gets a pass after all. The sell-high window has firmly slammed shut, and managers now just have to hope he can get things moving in the right direction again. Things certainly don't get any easier for Barnes and the Kings as they face the Jazz on Saturday night.
