Dominick Barlow Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Magic vs 76ers game today with our National Basketball Association injury report.Nov 20, 2025
Moving to bench role
Barlow is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow will return to his regular bench role due to the return of Paul George (knee). Barlow is averaging 7.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, and his role off the bench should limit his fantasy upside.
Nov 17, 2025
Starting vs. LAC
Barlow will start Monday's game against the Clippers, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The two-way player will get the starting nod for the third time this season, pushing Trendon Watford to the second unit. In his previous two starts, Barlow averaged 7.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 25.0 minutes per contest.
Nov 14, 2025
Scores 10 points with eight boards
Barlow provided 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 29 minutes during Friday's 114-105 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Barlow immediately impacted the game upon entering the game with his rebounding prowess and tenacity on defense, and he played so well that head coach Nick Nurse started him over Trendon Watford to begin the second half. He finished with a team-best plus/minus rating of plus-11, so it'll be interesting to see if he earned himself a start for Monday's matchup with the Clippers.
Nov 13, 2025
Good to go for Friday
Barlow (elbow) is available for Friday's game against Detroit, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow missed nine straight games due to a right elbow laceration, but he's officially set to return. The 76ers have been leaning on Trendon Watford a lot, so it will be interesting to see what kind of role Barlow is able to carve out.
Nov 10, 2025
Ruled out for Tuesday
Barlow (elbow) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Barlow will miss his ninth consecutive game due to a right elbow laceration. With Joel Embiid (rest) set to play Tuesday, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona will provide depth at center off the bench. Barlow's next opportunity to return comes Friday against the Pistons.
Nov 7, 2025
Ruled out through weekend
Barlow (elbow) won't be available for Saturday's game against the Raptors and Sunday's contest against the Pistons, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow has a follow-up meeting with a surgeon slated for early next week, so his absence could extend into Tuesday's matchup against the Celtics. Until Barlow is back in action, Adem Bona should be tasked with more playing time.
Nov 5, 2025
Won't play Wednesday
Barlow (elbow) will not play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
This will be Barlow's fifth consecutive game on the shelf, and he remains without a timetable for a return. His next chance to play comes Saturday against the Raptors.
Nov 3, 2025
Won't play Tuesday
Barlow (elbow) will remain on the sidelines for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Barlow is still recovering from a procedure he had to address a laceration on his elbow, and Tuesday will mark his fourth straight game on the inactive list. Head coach Nick Nurse acknowledged Sunday that Barlow's injury is taking longer to heal than expected, but he hoped to get another update early next week. It doesn't sound like Barlow will be available for Wednesday's game in Cleveland, nor the Saturday-Sunday, back-to-back set that follows.
Oct 30, 2025
Out two more games
Barlow (elbow) will be sidelined for the next two games, Tony Jones of The Athletic reported Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Barlow was the only player on the 76ers that was held out of Thursday's practice. Based on this timetable, his next chance to return to the lineup will be Nov. 4 against the Bulls. He fared well in his only two appearances of the season with 7.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists.
Oct 26, 2025
To miss at least two games
Barlow (elbow) is set to miss at least the next two games, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow sustained a laceration on his right elbow during Saturday's game against the Hornets and will undergo a procedure to address the wound. He is expected to miss at least two games before being reevaluated later in the week. Jabari Walker and Justin Edwards could see increased roles in Barlow's absence.
Oct 26, 2025
Out for Monday
Barlow (elbow) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Barlow sustained a right elbow laceration in Saturday's win over the Hornets and won't suit up against Orlando. With the 22-year-old sidelined, Jabari Walker and Justin Edwards are candidates for increased minutes. Barlow's next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Wizards.
Oct 26, 2025
Exits 76ers' win with elbow injury
Barlow (elbow) finished Saturday's 125-121 win over Charlotte with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and four rebounds across 16 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Dominick Barlow started but did not play during the second half of Philadelphia's win on Saturday due to a laceration to his right elbow. This is unfortunate news for the 22-year-old after he impressed with 13 points, eight rebounds, five assists and a block across 34 minutes in their season opener on Wednesday. Hopefully Barlow will be good to go versus Orlando on Monday.
Oct 25, 2025
Won't return Saturday
Barlow won't return to Saturday's game against the Hornets due to a right elbow laceration, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow was able to finish the first half but won't return for the second. He'll end the game with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and four rebounds in 16 minutes. Jabari Walker will likely see increased minutes the rest of the way. Barlow's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Monday's game against the Magic.
Oct 23, 2025
Impresses in start
Barlow closed Wednesday's 117-116 victory over the Celtics with 13 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one block over 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Barlow was named as a surprise starter for the season opener, finishing with an impressive stat line in 34 minutes. While VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey will likely receive all the accolades, Barlow's contributions shouldn't be overlooked. Until the 76ers have a healthy roster, Barlow could be worth a look, even in standard fantasy leagues.
Oct 22, 2025
Starting in 76ers debut
Barlow is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Boston, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow inked a two-way contract with the 76ers this offseason ahead of his fourth NBA season. The 22-year-old big man will draw the start in Philadelphia's regular-season opener, stepping into the power forward spot while Paul George (knee) and Trendon Watford (hamstring) are sidelined. Barlow started four games with Atlanta in 2024-25, and he averaged 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.8 blocks across 20 minutes per game.
Oct 17, 2025
Joining second unit Friday
Barlow won't start in Friday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow will retreat to the bench in Philadelphia's preseason finale. The 22-year-old big man started the team's previous three preseason games and will look to earn a spot in the rotation come Opening Night.
Oct 11, 2025
Nearly double-doubles
Barlow recorded 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes of Friday's 128-98 preseason loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Barlow drew another start Friday and continues to make a strong impression on the 76ers. The team is without several key contributors due to injuries and maintenance, but even though Barlow is on a two-way contract, he might play his way into the rotation for Opening Night at this point.
Oct 2, 2025
Productive in start
Barlow had six points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 preseason loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Barlow started Philadelphia's preseason opener, something he's unlikely to do very often when Paul George (knee) is healthy for the 76ers. That said, Barlow could be a mainstay in the first unit during the preseason as the two-way player looks to make an impression ahead of the regular season. If George is cleared for Opening Night, however, Barlow would likely head over to the G League's Delaware Blue Coats.
Oct 2, 2025
Starting against Knicks
Barlow will start in Thursday's preseason game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
The 76ers are pretty shorthanded Thursday, but it's interesting to see Barlow get the starting nod next to Adem Bona. Barlow is on a two-way contract with the 76ers, but he can play the four and the five. Additionally, coach Nick Nurse singled him out as someone who is having a strong camp.
Sep 30, 2025
Active at training camp
Barlow (rest) has been active at training camp, Adam Aaronson of Philly Voice reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow, who was shut down early during the Summer League for undisclosed reasons, has also been a standout in training camp. "Dominick Barlow is standing out early on here," head coach Nick Nurse said. "He's just really on the glass and making some shots and playing extremely hard. He was just involved in a lot of good stuff." Barlow, who is on a two-way contract, could be a candidate to crack the rotation if Joel Embiid (knee) struggles to get healthy.
Jul 15, 2025
Shut down for rest of Summer League
Barlow (not injury related) will be shut down for the remainder of the Summer League, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow's Summer League run has come to an end after two appearances, highlighted by a double-double effort Saturday. The center signed a two-way contract with the 76ers on July 9 following a 2024-25 season with the Hawks, during which he averaged 4.2 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.7 minutes per game while shooting 53.1 percent from the field across 35 regular-season outings.
Jul 12, 2025
Nears double-double in SL loss
Barlow tallied 19 points (9-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, three steals and two assists across 30 minutes in Saturday's 96-94 Summer League loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Barlow came up one rebound shy of a double-double in Saturday's close loss. The center signed a two-way deal with the 76ers on Wednesday after appearing in 35 regular-season games for the Hawks during the 2024-25 season, where he averaged 4.2 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.7 minutes per game while shooting 53.1 percent from the field.
Jul 9, 2025
Signs two-way deal with Philly
Barlow agreed to a two-way contract with the 76ers on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After having his team option declined by the Hawks on June 29, Barlow has a chance at a fresh start in Philadelphia. The 21-year-old center played in 35 regular-season games for Atlanta during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 4.2 points and 2.4 rebounds across 10.7 minutes per game, shooting 53.1 percent from the field.
Jun 29, 2025
Team option declined
The Hawks declined their $2.2 million team option in Barlow's contract for 2025-26 on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow is now set to explore other opportunities in unrestricted free agency this offseason. The 22-year-old big man appeared in 35 regular-season outings (four starts) in 2024-25, averaging 4.2 points and 2.4 rebounds across 10.7 minutes per game.
Apr 13, 2025
Starting Sunday
Barlow is in Atlanta's starting lineup against Orlando on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Barlow has seen his playing time diminish as of late, but he'll make his fourth start of the season Sunday due to the absence of Onyeka Okongwu (knee).
Apr 11, 2025
Diminished role in victory
Barlow logged two points (1-1 FG, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist across three minutes during Thursday's 133-109 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Barlow barely saw the floor in the win, playing fewer than five minutes for the third straight game. It's been another underwhelming season for Barlow, with his numbers basically reflecting his career to this point. Through 33 games played, he has averaged just 4.0 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.3 minutes per contest.
Apr 1, 2025
Balanced effort off bench in loss
Barlow finished with eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one block over 15 minutes in Tuesday's 127-113 loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
Barlow put together a balanced effort off the Hawks bench Tuesday, leading all second unit players in rebounds while coming up one bucket short of the double-digit mark in a losing battle. Barlow has hauled in eight or more rebounds in two outings, both of which have taken place over his last five contests.
Mar 24, 2025
Double-doubles in win
Barlow accumulated 13 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 19 minutes during Sunday's 132-119 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Barlow recorded his first double-double of the season in the win, and he'll continue to soak up some backup center minutes with Clint Capela (hand) out of commission for a while. Over his last five outings, Barlow has averaged 7.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks in 17.1 minutes.
Mar 18, 2025
Season highs in victory
Barlow logged 12 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 134-102 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old saw the floor for a fourth consecutive contest due to Clint Capela (personal) being sidelined. Barlow posted season-high marks in points and rebounds while serving as the club's backup center Tuesday. The third-year big man will likely continue to see double-digit minutes until Capela returns to game action.
Mar 13, 2025
Plays well off bench
Barlow racked up nine points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 123-110 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Clint Capela was sidelined for personal reasons, allowing Barlow to soak up some backup center minutes. Barlow has been very productive in limited minutes this season, and could be worth a look in deeper formats if Capela misses more time -- over his last 10 games, Barlow holds averages of 5.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in just 11.2 minutes.
Mar 4, 2025
Running with second unit
Barlow is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Mouhamed Gueye will return to the starting five, pushing Barlow back to the bench. Over his last 10 outings (three starts), the 21-year-old has averaged 4.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocks across 10.2 minutes per contest.
Mar 3, 2025
Entering starting lineup
Barlow is starting Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow put pen to paper on a two-year standard contract Sunday, and he'll immediately enter the starting lineup for Atlanta. His last start dates back to Feb. 7 against the Bucks when he produced seven points, four rebounds and one block in 20 minutes of action.
Mar 2, 2025
Earns standard deal with ATL
The Hawks converted Barlow's two-way deal to a two-year standard contract Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow will latch on with Atlanta on a standard contract after previously signing a one-year, two-way deal with the club in July of 2024. The third-year big man is averaging 2.9 points and 1.6 rebounds across only 7.8 minutes per contest in 18 regular-season outings. However, the 21-year-old has seen a slight uptick in playing time of late, averaging 3.6 points and 2.2 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.
Feb 21, 2025
Transferred to College Park
The Hawks transferred Barlow to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Barlow has been a fairly consistent member of Atlanta's rotation, appearing in 10 of the team's last 13 contests. While the 21-year-old center's transfer to the G League could open up extra minutes for Mouhamed Gueye and Clint Capela, Barlow will likely return to the NBA in the near future.
Feb 7, 2025
Logs seven points in spot start
Barlow finished Friday's 115-110 win over the Bucks with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one block over 20 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Barlow made his second start of the 2024-25 campaign Friday, though he didn't see the floor as much as reserves Vit Krejci (31 minutes) and Mouhamed Gueye (23). Barlow's playing time could take a hit as new acquisitions Caris LeVert, Terance Mann and Georges Niang are expected to play in Saturday's road game against the Wizards, per Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.
Feb 7, 2025
Starting Friday vs. Milwaukee
Barlow is in the Hawks' starting lineup against the Bucks on Friday, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow will make his second start of the regular season Friday after Deandre Hunter was traded to the Cavaliers on Thursday. Barlow made his first start of the regular season this past Saturday against the Pacers and finished with 10 points, three rebounds and two blocks over 13 minutes.
Feb 3, 2025
Back to bench Monday
Barlow won't start in Monday's game against the Pistons, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
With De'Andre Hunter joining Atlanta's first unit Monday, Barlow will revert back to the second unit against Detroit. Barlow has averaged 1.8 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.3 assists in 5.8 minutes over 11 games off the bench this year, curbing most of his fantasy appeal.
Feb 2, 2025
Drops 10 points in spot start
Barlow ended with 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and two blocks across 13 minutes during Saturday's 132-127 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Barlow moved into the starting lineup, replacing Mouhamed Gueye who shifted back to the bench. This was a surprising move given Barlow has struggled to crack the rotation this season, having played double-digit minutes only once prior to Saturday. it demonstrates how desperate the Hawks are at the moment, having lost eight consecutive games. Based on recent games, there is a chance they mix things up again as they hunt for an elusive victory against the Pistons on Monday.
Feb 1, 2025
Set to start Saturday
Barlow is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Pacers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow will replace Mouhamed Gueye in the starting five Saturday. This is a surprising move, as Barlow has only played double-digit minutes once this season.
Jan 27, 2025
Back with parent club
The Hawks recalled Barlow from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Monday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow will rejoin the Hawks ahead of Monday's game in Minnesota to provide added depth in the frontcourt. Atlanta has already ruled out four players and is listing three others as questionable for Monday, but with both of the team's top two centers (Onyeka Okongwu and Clint Capela) available, Barlow is unlikely to crack the rotation.
Jan 22, 2025
Returns from G League
The Hawks recalled Barlow from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Barlow will be available for the Hawks as the team kicks off a back-to-back set Wednesday with a matchup with Detroit followed by a Thursday meeting with Toronto. The two-way player likely won't be featured in Atlanta's rotation if both Onyeka Okongwu and Clint Capela are both available for both ends of the back-to-back set.
Jan 17, 2025
Returns to parent club
The Hawks transferred Barlow from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Barlow tallied 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 36 minutes during Thursday's 123-122 overtime G League loss to the Maine Celtics. However, the two-way player will now return to the NBA.
Jan 13, 2025
Returns from G League
The Hawks recalled Barlow from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Monday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow should be available off the bench in Atlanta's next game Tuesday versus the Suns, though he's unlikely to be featured in the rotation while both Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu are available to handle all of the minutes at center. The two-way player is back with Atlanta after he most recently suited up for College Park in Sunday's 105-98 loss to the Motor City Cruise, finishing with 30 points (11-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes.
Jan 11, 2025
Headed to G League
Hawks assigned Barlow to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Saturday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow has been an inconsistent part of Atlanta's NBA rotation this season. However, the two-way player should receive increased playing time while in the G League.
Dec 28, 2024
Returns to parent club
The Hawks transferred Barlow from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Barlow will return to the NBA after a brief stint in the G League. Barlow is averaging 1.3 points in 5.3 minutes across his three NBA appearances this season.
Dec 25, 2024
Not on injury report
Barlow (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Barlow was sidelined for Monday's win over the Timberwolves due to an illness, but he should be able to suit up Thursday. However, he's made only three NBA appearances this season, so his availability shouldn't impact the Hawks' rotation.
Dec 23, 2024
Out with illness
Barlow (illness) won't play Monday against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Barlow has played a total of 15 minutes across three NBA appearances this season.
Dec 14, 2024
Gets called up
Barlow was recalled by the Hawks ahead of Saturday's NBA Cup Semifinals game against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow was recalled along with Mouhamed Gueye, Keaton Wallace and Seth Lundy. This means he can be around the team in Las Vegas, but it is uncertain if any of the four will be active for the contest.
Nov 26, 2024
Assigned to Skyhawks on Tuesday
Barlow was assigned to the Hawks' G League affiliate Tuesday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow was called up for Monday's game against the Mavericks, though he received a DNP-CD. The 21-year-old big man is expected to split time between the NBA and G League, and in six G League Tip-Off Tournament appearances he has averaged 22.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.0 blocks over 34.5 minutes per game.
Nov 25, 2024
Returns from G League
The Hawks recalled Barlow from the G League College Park Skyhawks, and he will be available for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Across six G League outings this season, Barlow has averaged 22.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.0 blocks over 34.5 minutes per game. He last saw playing time for the Hawks on Nov. 4, when he scored one point across eight minutes in a loss to Boston.
Nov 4, 2024
Makes team debut
Barlow (back) played the final 2:23 of Sunday's 126-111 win over the Pelicans and recorded no statistics during his time on the court.
ANALYSIS
Barlow wasn't available for the Hawks' first six games of the regular season while he recovered from a low back contusion that dated back to the preseason. After getting in some practice time in the G League last week, Barlow was cleared to play Sunday, but he was outside of head coach Quin Snyder's rotation and didn't see the floor until garbage time. As one of the Hawks' three two-way players, Barlow is likely to see most of his minutes this season in the G League with the College Park Skyhawks.
Nov 3, 2024
Back at full strength
Barlow (back) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow has been battling a back injury through the first few weeks of the season, but he's with the team in New Orleans and wasn't listed on the injury report, indicating he's returned to health. The 21-year-old has yet to appear this year for Atlanta given his current spot in the team's rotation. However, he could be active for Sunday's clash after getting over the back issue.
Oct 26, 2024
Not playing Sunday
Barlow (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Barlow has yet to play this season due to a nagging back injury. He's expected to link up with the College Park Skyhawks of the G League, so he's not likely to step on an NBA court any time soon.
Oct 24, 2024
Still out Friday
Barlow (back) won't play in Friday's game versus the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Barlow will miss his second straight contest to begin the season Friday due to a back injury. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Oklahoma City.
Oct 22, 2024
Remains out Wednesday
Barlow is out for Wednesday's game versus the Nets due to a low back contusion, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow's absence shouldn't affect Atlanta's rotation. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Charlotte.
Oct 17, 2024
Out vs. Oklahoma City
Barlow (undisclosed) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow will miss a third consecutive preseason game, and the big man is losing ground in the race to secure a spot in the regular-season roster. It's unclear if Barlow will be ready for the season opener against the Nets on Wednesday, though it wouldn't be surprising if he opens the season in the G League.
Oct 16, 2024
Out again Wednesday
Barlow (undisclosed) is unavailable for Wednesday's preseason contest versus Miami, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow missing his second consecutive preseason contest is especially notable in the context of Onyeka Okongwu (toe) also being unavailable. Barlow's next opportunity to prove himself comes Thursday as Atlanta closes a back-to-back set versus Oklahoma City, but it's unclear why the 21-year-old, two-way signee is inactive.
Oct 14, 2024
Unavailable Monday
Barlow won't play in Monday's preseason game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The team failed to disclose the reason behind Barlow sitting Monday, so he may simply be receiving a night to rest. His next chance to suit up will arrive Wednesday in Miami.
Jul 30, 2024
Headed to ATL
The Hawks signed Barlow (knee) to a two-way contract on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After waiving Bruno Fernando on Tuesday, the Hawks signed Barlow to a two-way pact. The move to sign the 21-year-old seemingly aligns with the club's plan to rebuild around their young core of Zaccharie Risacher (quad) and Jalen Johnson (ankle). However, Barlow may have a difficult time picking up minutes with the squad, buried behind Clint Capela, Onyeka Okongwu (toe), Larry Nance and Cody Zeller. Barlow spent two years with the Spurs, and in 2023-24 he averaged 3.8 points and 3.5 rebounds across 14.1 minutes in 29 regular-season games.
Jun 29, 2024
To become free agent
The Spurs did not extend a qualifying offer to Barlow (knee), making him an unrestricted free agent, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite this move by the Spurs, Wojnarowski reports that a reunion could be on the table during free agency, though Barlow will have other suitors as well. In 33 appearances last season, Barlow produced averages of 4.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 13.6 minutes. He missed the last nine games of the season with a left knee bone bruise, but there's been no reports on his progress.
Apr 13, 2024
Out again Sunday

Apr 11, 2024
Ruled out for Friday's game

Apr 8, 2024
Won't play Tuesday
Barlow (knee) will be unavailable Tuesday versus Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Barlow will miss his fifth consecutive game due to a left knee bruise. It's unfortunate timing for the second-year big, with the end-of-season stretch representing an opportunity to showcase himself if he can get healthy.
Apr 6, 2024
Out again Sunday
Barlow (knee) will not play Sunday against the 76ers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow will miss his fourth straight game for San Antonio and remains without a timetable for a return.

Barlow (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Ty Jager of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow continues to deal with a bone bruise in his left knee and will be sidelined for a third consecutive matchup. Whether he'll be available for Sunday's game against the 76ers remains to be seen.
Apr 1, 2024
Won't face Denver on Tuesday
Barlow (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow is set to miss a third straight game Tuesday, but even if he had been available, he wouldn't have played much of a role. He's averaging a mere 12.4 minutes per game across nine appearances since the All-Star break. His next chance to take the court will come Friday against New Orleans.
Mar 31, 2024
Unavailable Sunday
Barlow is inactive for Sunday's game against Golden State due to left knee soreness, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow has been inconsistently utilized, but he has not flashed in his recent sample, averaging just 2.3 points and 2.9 rebounds on 43.8 percent shooting in 9.9 minutes across his last seven appearances. His next opportunity to take the court comes Tuesday versus Denver.
Mar 31, 2024
Back to NBA
San Antonio recalled Barlow from the G League's Austin Spurs on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The Austin Spurs didn't make the G League postseason, so Barlow will presumably spend the rest of the NBA regular season serving as a depth option. He's made nine appearances for San Antonio in March thus far and averaged 4.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12.4 minutes per game.
Mar 25, 2024
Recalled to NBA
San Antonio recalled Barlow from the G League's Austin Spurs on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Victor Wembanyama is questionable for Monday's game versus the Suns with an ankle issue, so Barlow is being called up to provide emergency depth.
Mar 19, 2024
Recalled from G League
San Antonio recalled Barlow from the G League's Austin Spurs on Tuesday, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs are expected to be without Zach Collins (illness) Tuesday against the Mavericks, so Barlow is being called up to provide frontcourt depth. In 29 appearances in the NBA, Barlow holds averages of 4.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists.
Mar 10, 2024
Emphatic performance Saturday
Barlow contributed 19 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 126-113 victory over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Barlow was fantastic in the win, scoring a season-high 19 points in 30 minutes of playing time. With Victor Wembanyama sidelined due to an ankle injury, Barlow made the most of his short-term opportunity. While this was an encouraging performance, Wembanyama is slated to return for the next game. Keeping that in mind, it's hard to trust Barlow moving forward.
Mar 1, 2024
Gets standard deal from Spurs
The Spurs converted Barlow's two-way deal into a standard contract Friday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow has only 23 appearances to his name with San Antonio this season, but this new contract is an indication that he remains in their long-term plans. Across 51 total NBA appearances, Barlow has shot 50.6 percent from the field.
Jan 27, 2024
Available Saturday
Barlow is with the NBA Spurs and will be available for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, Bruno Passos of PoundingTheRock.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow was called up from Austin on Saturday and will likely share backup center duties with Sandro Mamukelashvili with Zach Collins (ankle) sidelined.
Jan 21, 2024
Questionable Monday
Barlow is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers due to G League Assignment, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow's availability likely depends on whether or not Zach Collins (ankle, questionable) can suit up. In the last 10 games where either Victor Wembanyama or Collins has been sidelined, Barlow has received at least 10 minutes in each and has averaged 6.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks per game.
Jan 20, 2024
On assignment Saturday
Barlow (not with team) is inactive for Saturday's game against Washington
ANALYSIS
Barlow is not featured on the active roster for Saturday's game after appearing in San Antonio's last 11 contests. Zach Collins (ankle) returning to action considerably shrinks Barlow's role in the frontcourt, although he posted a solid 6.2 points and 5.1 rebounds in 18.0 minutes per game over the aforementioned span.
Jan 20, 2024
Questionable Saturday
Barlow is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Wizards, Ty Jager of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It is unclear what issue Barlow is dealing with, but his status is unlikely to be determined until closer tip game time. He has averaged 6.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.9 blocks across 18.0 minutes over the previous 11 games.
Jan 15, 2024
Back to bench
Barlow will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Hawks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
No surprises here with Victor Wembanyama back in the mix. Barlow fared well in a fill-in start Saturday against the Bulls, recording five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 22 minutes.
Jan 14, 2024
Solid output in first career start
Barlow supplied five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 22 minutes during Saturday's 122-116 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Barlow played turnover-free basketball while chipping it across the board Saturday. Victor Wembanyama was rested for the second half of San Antonio's back-to-back set, but Barlow still formed a fantasy-irrelevant platoon with Sandro Mamukelashvili and various small-ball lineups for the Spurs. However, the 20-year-old has a versatile skillset and is worth monitoring as he continues acclimating, or if he steps into a larger role at times.
Jan 13, 2024
Starting against Chicago
Barlow is in the starting lineup to face the Bulls on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Barlow will step into the starting lineup since Victor Wembanyama (rest) is taking the night off in the second half of a back-to-back set. This will be Barlow's first start of his NBA career.
Jan 5, 2024
Makes impression Thursday
Barlow contributed six points (3-3 FG), one rebound, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 15 minutes during Thursday's 125-121 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Barlow has played at least 13 minutes in four straight games, averaging 5.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks in 14.0 minutes during that stretch. With Zach Collins (ankle) sidelined, Barlow has been operating as the primary backup to Victor Wembanyama, though Sandro Mamukelashvili and Mamadi Diakite could start to see some minutes as well.
Nov 15, 2023
Rare appearance Tuesday
Barlow registered one rebound across five minutes during Tuesday's 123-87 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Barlow appeared for just the fourth time all season, failing to score in five minutes of playing time. Despite the fact the Spurs are likely to be blown out on more than one occasion, he is simply too deep in the rotation to have any chance at putting up fantasy-relevant numbers.
Jul 26, 2023
Re-ups with Spurs
Barlow will return to San Antonio on a two-way contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow also spent the 2022-23 season under two-way terms but managed to see action in 29 contests at the NBA level. He averaged 3.9 points and 3.5 rebounds on 14.1 minutes per game with the Spurs. However, with the additions of Victor Wembenyama, Cedi Osman and Reggie Bullock, Barlow could have a more difficult time earning NBA minutes in 2023-24.
Jul 14, 2023
Drops 19 points
Barlow put up 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 30 minutes during Friday's 79-73 Summer League loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Along with guys like Victor Wembanyama, Julian Champagnie and Malaki Branham, Barlow has really stood out on this Summer League roster. Barlow played with the Spurs on a two-way contract last season and is doing his part to secure at least a training camp invite.
Jul 3, 2023
Strong showing down low
Barlow totaled 24 points (10-13 FG, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 23 minutes during Monday's Summer League game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Barlow did all of his damage from inside the arc, as he scored with efficiency (76.9 percent) and grabbed seven of his 11 rebounds on the defensive end. The second-year big man didn't make much of an impact during his rookie season (3.8 points, and 3.5 rebounds in 29 games), and he'll likely need to put together an impressive Summer League campaign to have a shot at carving out a meaningful bench role heading into the regular season.
Apr 10, 2023
Closes season on strong note
Barlow finished with 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-7 FT), 19 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 138-117 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Barlow ended the season on a high note, posting season-high marks in minutes, points, rebounds, field goals made and field goal attempts. The 19-year-old rookie benefited from several regulars being out of the rotation for the season finale, but he still made his presence felt occasionally. He wraps up his first year in The Association averaging 3.8 points and 3.5 assists per game across 29 outings off the bench.
Apr 3, 2023
Excellent off bench Sunday
Barlow logged 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 142-134 overtime win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Barlow came off the bench but ended as one of San Antonio's most productive players in this upset win over the playoff-bound Kings. The 30 minutes he played Sunday were a season-high mark for the rookie, but his performance was probably an outlier and not a sign of things to come going forward. After all, he's only averaging 3.1 points and 2.8 rebounds per contest this season.
Mar 16, 2023
Gets extra playing time Wednesday
Barlow played 22 minutes off the bench and finished with six points (3-5 FG), four rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in Wednesday's 137-128 overtime loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs were without six players due to injury or rest in the second leg of the back-to-back set Wednesday, and those absences allowed Barlow to settle into a high-minute backup role in the frontcourt behind starters Keldon Johnson and Sandro Mamukelashvili on Wednesday. Assuming the Spurs get their usual starting power forward (Jeremy Sochan) and starting center (Zach Collins) back for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Johnson will likely move back to small forward, while Mmukelashvili should move back to the bench and serve as Collins' primary backup. Barlow could still stick in the rotation as Sochan's main backup, but his minutes ceiling will undoubtedly be lower if the Spurs get a couple key bodies back in the mix.
Feb 10, 2023
Recalled, available vs. Pistons
Barlow has been recalled from the G League and is available for Friday's game against the Pistons, Bruno Passos of PoundingTheRock.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs will be putting out a skeleton crew for Friday's matchup, so it won't be surprising if Barlow gets in the rotation. The two-way player has appeared in just six NBA games this season and hasn't seen more than 10 minutes in a single contest. In his 38 total minutes, the rookie has recorded 18 points, seven rebounds, four assists and one steal.
Feb 6, 2023
Called up to NBA
San Antonio recalled Barlow from the G League's Austin Spurs ahead of Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs will be missing at least five players Monday, so Barlow will dress for a second straight contest. However, if the game remains fairly competitive throughout, Barlow may not be guaranteed to see the floor if head coach Gregg Popovich opts to limit his rotation to nine or 10 players.
Feb 3, 2023
Recalled to NBA club
San Antonio recalled Barlow to the NBA club from the G League's Austin Spurs on Friday, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barlow and Blake Wesley were both recalled ahead of Friday's game against the 76ers and will be available for San Antonio. However, Barlow has made only four NBA appearances this season, with his last coming Dec. 14, so he isn't expected to see much, if any, playing time against Philadelphia.
