Barton (ankle) tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's practice, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports. Wind reported that the injury doesn't seem too serious, but the veteran left practice wearing a boot.

EDGE Analysis

While it's good news that the injury is likely not serious, the fact that Barton departed in a boot is not the most encouraging sign. Barton agreed to a two-year, $32 million dollar deal over the summer after averaging 12.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game last season. The hope is that this ankle issue doesn't linger, as Barton was limited to just 56 games last season due to injuries.
