Barnes attracted some attention prior to the series after stating that he’d have
rather faced the Clippers than the Jazz, but that may end up being the extent of
the storylines surrounding him in the second round. After missing the Warriors’
last six games with a right foot sprain, Barnes appears to find himself on the
fringe of the team’s rotation, as he saw roughly the same amount of playing time
Monday as lightly-used bench forwards Patrick McCaw and James McAdoo.
