"Sunday evening was a bit bittersweet for Raptors Nation. On one hand, we celebrated the great news that Scottie Barnes earned his spot as a 2026 NBA All-Star reserve - a well-deserved honor. On the other, there was a glaring omission: Brandon Ingram, another blossoming star for Toronto, who's had a fantastic campaign so far but just missed the final cut."
"Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram will grace the front of SLAM Magazine 260 as one of the featured cover editions, alongside 76ers duo Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, Pistons All-Star Jalen Duren, and UConn star Sarah Strong. With a fitting tagline that reads " COLD FRONT" and a caption that states " In the dead of winter, Toronto is alive again. Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram are leading the Raptors' resurgence..." the recognition for Toronto's two top stars couldn't be more justified in this project."
Scottie Barnes secured a spot as a 2026 NBA All-Star reserve while Brandon Ingram narrowly missed the final selection despite a strong season. Norman Powell and Pascal Siakam were also on the All-Star list, with Powell noted for his perseverance. Barnes reacted with visible disappointment over Ingram's omission, and head coach Darko Rajakovic publicly supported Ingram. Both Barnes and Ingram will appear together on SLAM Magazine issue 260 under the tagline "COLD FRONT," framed as leaders of Toronto's midwinter resurgence. The issue also features Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Jalen Duren, and Sarah Strong.
