Scottie Barnes had the perfect response to a joke made about his outfit.
Barnes was seen wearing a yellow pullover shirt when the Toronto Raptors took on the Milwaukee Bucks on Nov. 12.
Popular x account Hater Report posted Barnes wearing the fit next to Arthur from the classic kid’s tv show:
Nah this an insane fit 😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/R1uIyP76ez

This was a great comeback to the joke from Barnes who always enjoys wearing different outfits during Raptors’ games.
Barnes has missed the Raptors’ last eight games with an orbital fracture he suffered on Oct. 28 against the Denver Nuggets after being inadvertently elbowed in the face by Nikola Jokic.
The good news is that Barnes won’t need to have surgery after undergoing further testing.
Barnes should be getting reevaluated next week but since he doesn’t need surgery that means he will be able to return to the court sooner rather than later.
The date of his return is still unclear, however it seems likely that Barnes will be back towards the end of November.
The Raptors are currently dealing with a slew of injuries and are hoping to get healthy soon. Immanuel Quickley will be out another week after suffering an elbow injury against the Los Angeles Laker. Meanwhile, Kelly Olynyk, Bruce Brown and Ja’Kobe Walter all remain out with no timetable set for either of them.
The Raptors are 2-10 and have the worst record in the NBA.
