Scottie Barnes issues "promise" to Raptors fans after tough season

It might be just a simple social media post, but May 12, 2024, could be a day worth looking back on one day for Toronto Raptors star forward Scottie Barnes. Shortly before representing the Raptors at yesterday's NBA Draft Lottery, Barnes made a simple proclamation in an Instagram carousel after Toronto had one of their worst seasons in recent memory. “I promise we will be better,” Barnes captioned the post while sharing a series of pictures from the 2023-24 season. Toronto went 25-57 on the year, finishing 12th in the Eastern Conference and well out of the postseason race.
